To use support vector machine (SVM) in MATLAB for data regression prediction, you can follow the steps below:
-
Prepare the dataset:
Load your feature matrix X and target variable vector y into the MATLAB workspace. Make sure the dimensions of X and y match. -
Split data set:
Divide the data set into training set and test set, which can becvpartition
split using functions. A common ratio is to use 70% of the data for training and 30% for testing. For example, you can choose to randomly divide the dataset to generate indexes:
cv = cvpartition(size(X, 1), 'HoldOut', 0.3);
idxTrain = cv.training;
idxTest = cv.test;
- Create and fit a model:
Create an SVM regression model and fit it using the training set. Usefitrsvm
functions to create SVM regression models:
model = fitrsvm(X(idxTrain,:), y(idxTrain));
- Make predictions:
Use the test set data to make predictions. Call the model'spredict
method to predict the target variable:
yPred = predict(model, X(idxTest,:));
- Evaluate the model:
Evaluate the performance of the model by computing the Mean Squared Error (MSE) or other appropriate metrics:
mse = mean((y(idxTest) - yPred).^2);
In this way, you can use the support vector machine model in MATLAB for data regression prediction. Remember to tune the parameters of SVM according to the actual problem.
