<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.
<p>The aim of the SVM algorithm is to find a hyperplane in a
\( p \)-dimensional space, where \( p \) is the number of features that
distinctly classifies the data points.
</p>
<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.
<p>In a \( p \)-dimensional space, a hyperplane is what we call an affine subspace of dimension of \( p-1 \).
As an example, in two dimension, a hyperplane is simply as straight line while in three dimensions it is
a two-dimensional subspace, or stated simply, a plane.
</p>
<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.
<p>In two dimensions, with the variables \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \), the hyperplane is defined as</p>
$$
b+w_1x_1+w_2x_2=0,
$$
<p>where \( b \) is the intercept and \( w_1 \) and \( w_2 \) define the elements of a vector orthogonal to the line
\( b+w_1x_1+w_2x_2=0 \).
In two dimensions we define the vectors \( \boldsymbol{x} =[x1,x2] \) and \( \boldsymbol{w}=[w1,w2] \).
We can then rewrite the above equation as
</p>
$$
\boldsymbol{x}^T\boldsymbol{w}+b=0.
