💖 svm-scale(1) — the group chat guide 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Manuals set, and it's all about svm-scale — your lil preprocessing bestie for SVM training. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

svm-scale</purl> — scale data to a restricted range as preprocessing for SVM training. it's giving "make your numbers behave" 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

svm-scale [ -l lower ] [ -u upper ] [ -y y_upper ] [ -s save_filename ]
[ -r restore_filename ] datafilename

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

svm-scale reads the datafilename you hand it — and bestie, that's a training or testing data file, exactly like the ones described in svm_train(1) or svm_predict(1) — and then it scales all dimensions into the ranges you asked for. no cap. that's the whole vibe. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -l lower — lower is the lowest (minimal) value allowed in each dimension. it defaults to -1. 🍓
  • -u upper — upper is the highest (maximal) value allowed in each dimension. it defaults to 1. 🌸
  • -y y_lower — y_lower is a boolean value (0 or 1) that says whether or not the y-values (aka the targets) should be scaled. it defaults to 0. 👑
  • -s save_filename — save_filename is the filename to save the scaled data to. 💾
  • -r restore_filename — restore_filename is the filename reserved to hold the original (unscaled) data, in case there's ever a need to restore. 🫶

📁 FILES 📁

datafilename must be a training or testing dataset. that's the rule, bestie. 🎀

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

No environment variables. literally none. a clean slate, an empty inbox, a peaceful era. 😌

🩺 DIAGNOSTICS 🩺

None documented; see Vapnik et al. (iykyk 📚)
