Concepts inNomograms for visualizing support vector machines

Nomogram

This article is about graphical calculators called nomograms, not to be confused with nonograms, a kind of Japanese puzzle, or monograms, small motifs of combined letters. A nomogram, nomograph, abaque, or abac is a graphical calculating device, a two-dimensional diagram designed to allow the approximate graphical computation of a function.  more from Wikipedia

Support vector machine

A support vector machine (SVM) is a concept in statistics and computer science for a set of related supervised learning methods that analyze data and recognize patterns, used for classification and regression analysis. The standard SVM takes a set of input data and predicts, for each given input, which of two possible classes forms the input, making the SVM a non-probabilistic binary linear classifier.  more from Wikipedia

Logit

The logit function is the inverse of the sigmoidal "logistic" function used in mathematics, especially in statistics. Log-odds and logit are synonyms.  more from Wikipedia

Logistic regression

In statistics, logistic regression is a type of regression analysis used for predicting the outcome of a categorical (a variable that can take on a limited number of categories) criterion variable based on one or more predictor variables. The probabilities describing the possible outcome of a single trial are modelled, as a function of explanatory variables, using a logistic function.  more from Wikipedia

Level of measurement

The "levels of measurement", or scales of measure are expressions that typically refer to the theory of scale types developed by the psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens. Stevens proposed his theory in a 1946 Science article titled "On the theory of scales of measurement". In that article, Stevens claimed that all measurement in science was conducted using four different types of scales that he called "nominal", "ordinal", "interval" and "ratio".  more from Wikipedia

Hyperplane

A hyperplane is a concept in geometry. It is a generalization of the plane into a different number of dimensions. A hyperplane of an n-dimensional space is a flat subset with dimension n ¿ 1. By its nature, it separates the space into two half spaces.  more from Wikipedia
