How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the number of training samples and feature dimensions.
  2. Select the kernel type (linear, RBF, polynomial) based on data separability.
  3. Input the regularization parameter C and kernel-specific parameters (gamma for RBF, degree for polynomial).
  4. Review the estimated support vector count and decision boundary margin.
  5. Use cross-validation to tune C and gamma — a grid search over log-scale values is standard practice.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    C Parameter = 1, Gamma (RBF) = 0.1, Kernel Type = 0, Polynomial Degree = 3 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Estimated Support Vectors
    Estimated Support Vectors
    100 = 100
  3. Calculate Margin Width
    Margin Width
    2 = 2
  4. Calculate Training Complexity
    Training Complexity
    1000000 = 1000000
  5. Calculate Prediction Complexity
    Prediction Complexity
    1000 = 1000
