<p>
Let us try to develop our intuition about SVMs by limiting ourselves to a two-dimensional
plane. To separate the two classes of data points, there are many
possible lines (hyperplanes if you prefer a more strict naming)
that could be chosen. Our objective is to find a
plane that has the maximum margin, i.e the maximum distance between
data points of both classes. Maximizing the margin distance provides
some reinforcement so that future data points can be classified with
more confidence.
We limit ourselves to two classes of outputs \( y_i \) and assign these classes the values \( y_i = \pm 1 \).
In a \( p \)-dimensional space of say \( p \) features we have a hyperplane defines as
$$
b+wx_1+w_2x_2+\dots +w_px_p=0.
$$
If we define a
matrix \( \boldsymbol{X}=\left[\boldsymbol{x}_1,\boldsymbol{x}_2,\dots, \boldsymbol{x}_p\right] \)
of dimension \( n\times p \), where \( n \) represents the observations for each feature and each vector \( x_i \) is a column vector of the matrix \( \boldsymbol{X} \),
$$
\boldsymbol{x}_i = \begin{bmatrix} x_{i1} \\ x_{i2} \\ \dots \\ \dots \\ x_{ip} \end{bmatrix}.
$$
If the above condition is not met for a given vector \( \boldsymbol{x}_i \) we have
$$
b+w_1x_{i1}+w_2x_{i2}+\dots +w_px_{ip} >0,
$$
if our output \( y_i=1 \).
In this case we say that \( \boldsymbol{x}_i \) lies on one of the sides of the hyperplane and if
$$
b+w_1x_{i1}+w_2x_{i2}+\dots +w_px_{ip} < 0,
$$
for the class of observations \( y_i=-1 \),
then \( \boldsymbol{x}_i \) lies on the other side.
<p>
What a linear classifier attempts to accomplish is to split the
feature space into two half spaces by placing a hyperplane between the
data points. This hyperplane will be our decision boundary. All
points on one side of the plane will belong to class one and all points
on the other side of the plane will belong to the second class two.
Equivalently, for the two classes of observations we have
$$
y_i\left(b+w_1x_{i1}+w_2x_{i2}+\dots +w_px_{ip}\right) > 0.
$$
<p>
Unfortunately there are many ways in which we can place a hyperplane
to divide the data. Below is an example of two candidate hyperplanes
for our data sample.
When we try to separate hyperplanes, if it exists, we can use it to construct a natural classifier: a test observation is assigned a given class depending on which side of the hyperplane it is located.
