Att klassificera med Support Vector Machines - En introduktion från teori till analys
(2018) STAH11 20162Department of Statistics
- Abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to give a short introduction to support vector machines. The paper intends to cover the full process from theory to analysis in the binary classification case. The analysis intends to yield an understanding of how the method can be used in practice, and how models can be fitted in a way that maximizes the desired performance measurement.
This paper introduces the theory behind classification in the most basic case with perfect linear separability. Subsequently, methods to expand the model to manage more realistic scenarios of non-linear separability are introduced. Furthermore, the model selection process is detailed, and common performance measurements are proposed.

The dataset, Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer, is used for the analysis. Numerous models are trained to predict tumors as malignant or benign. The final model performs in line with predetermined requirements, correctly classifying as many malignant tumors as possible. The final model attains a sensitivity of 0.9836, which equals one false negative prediction. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge en kort introduktion till support vector machines. Uppsatsen ämnar täcka hela processen från teori till slutgiltig analys vid binär klassificering. Analysen ämnar ge en förståelse för hur metoden kan användas i praktiken och hur modeller kan anpassas efter bestämda önskemål med hjälp av olika prestandamått.
Uppsatsen introducerar teorin bakom hur perfekt linjärt separabla klasser behandlas samt metoder för att utveckla modellen till att hantera mer realistiska scenarion. Vidare presenteras tillvägagångssätt till modellanpassning samt prestandamått.

Datamaterialet, Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer, används för analys. Modeller anpassas i syfte att prediktera tumörer som elakartade eller godartade. Den slutgiltiga modellen presterar i linje med förutbestämda önskemål, att korrekt klassificera så många elakartade tumörer som möjligt. Den slutgiltiga modellen uppnår en sensitivitet på 0.9836 vilket motsvarar en elakartad tumör som felaktigt klassificerats som godartad. (Less)
