Figure 2From: A support vector machine based test for incongruence between sets of trees in tree spaceA two dimensional example of a support vector machine (SVM) training to find the best hyperplane (dashed line) separating two pre-defined groups of points (labeled ’x’ and ’o’). In this example, the hyperplane correctly classifies 9 of the 12 o’s and 16 of the 20 x’s, and thus the data has a separation percentage of (9 + 16)/32 = 0.78125 , or 78.125%.Back to article page
