Figure 2From: Data mining methods in the prediction of Dementia: A real-data comparison of the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, neural networks, support vector machines, classification trees and random forestsSchematic representation of the optimum hyperplane (H0) by a Support Vector Machine. Diagonal lines represent the classification function for objects {-1} and {+1}. Objects inside the circles are the so-called support vectors verifying w'x + b = -1 or w'x + b = + 1 respectively.Back to article page
