How to correct the error - ClassificationSVM

10 views (last 30 days)
My Matlab code -
clear
load fisheriris
% Only use the third and fourth features
x=meas(:,3:4);
gscatter(x(:,1),x(:,2),species);
% Only use the last two categories
x=meas(51:end,3:4);
group=species(51:end,1);
gscatter(x(:,1),x(:,2),group);
% Linear SVM
svmStruct = fitcsvm(x,group,'showplot',true);
% Kernel SVM
svmStruct = fitcsvm(xdata,group,'showplot',true,'kernel_function','rbf');
% Select different sigma
svmStruct = fitcsvm(xdata,group,'showplot',true,'kernel_function','rbf','rbf_sigma',0.5);
But here I get the error message such as below -
Error in fitcsvm (line 316)
obj = ClassificationSVM.fit(X,Y,RemainingArgs{:});
Error in Untitled (line 11)
svmStruct = fitcsvm(x,group,'showplot',true);

svmStruct = fitcsvm(x,group,'HyperparameterOptimizationOptions', struct('showplot',true))
svmStruct = fitcsvm(x,group,'HyperparameterOptimizationOptions', struct('showplot',true), 'KernelFunction','rbf','KernelScale',0.5)

ntry = 10;
kftypes = {'gaussian', 'rbf', 'polynomial'};
nkf = length(kftypes);
svmStructs = cell(ntry,1);
for idx = 1 : ntry
kfidx = randi(nkf);
kftype = kftypes{kfidx};
if ismember(kfidx, [1, 2])
ks = exp(randn());
opts = {'KernelScale', ks};
else
q = randi(20);
opts = {'PolynomialOrder', q}
end
svmStructs{idx} = fitcsvm(x, group, 'HyperparameterOptimizationOptions', struct('showplot',true), 'KernelFunction', kftype, opts{:});
disp(kftype)
celldisp(opts);
pause(2);
end

Many thanks for your correct solution however can you please provide further suggestion such as how to modify the output diagram based on adjusting the parameters?
(Herewith refer to the attached file)
Thank you again

Kindly please help and provide your sample codes as a reference (because this is very important for studies)
After all I am not sure how to perform Matlab programming for Supervised Classification and compare all the results
Here can contact with more detail information - tcynotebook@yahoo.com (my mail)

% Select different sigma

ntry = 10;
kftypes = {'gaussian', 'rbf', 'polynomial'};

svmStructs = cell(ntry,1);
for idx = 1 : ntry
kfidx = randi(nkf);

q = randi(20);
opts = {'PolynomialOrder', q}
end
svmStructs{idx} = fitcsvm(x, group, 'HyperparameterOptimizationOptions', struct('showplot',true), 'KernelFunction', kftype, opts{:});
disp(kftype)
celldisp(opts);
pause(2);
end
Why the output diagram is the same and not any special result?

The more you write the more problems I get
svm_3d_matlab_vis
Not enough input arguments.
Error in svm_3d_matlab_vis (line 2)
sv = svmStruct.SupportVectors;
I think I need to stop here
Anyhow thank for the first answer

It sounds as if you are calling svm_3d_matlab_vis without passing in any parameters.

FITCSVM does not have an argument named 'showplot'. When I run your original code in R2018a I get this:
Error using classreg.learning.FitTemplate/fillIfNeeded (line 612)
showplot is not a valid parameter name.
Error in classreg.learning.FitTemplate.make (line 124)
temp = fillIfNeeded(temp,type);
Error in ClassificationSVM.template (line 235)
temp = classreg.learning.FitTemplate.make('SVM','type','classification',varargin{:});
Error in ClassificationSVM.fit (line 239)
temp = ClassificationSVM.template(varargin{:});
Error in fitcsvm (line 316)
obj = ClassificationSVM.fit(X,Y,RemainingArgs{:});
Error in Untitled3 (line 11)
svmStruct = fitcsvm(x,group,'showplot',true);

svmtrain() was replaced by fitcsvm(), and fitcsvm does not have a 'showplot' argument. Making a 2D plot of data points and support vectors in not built-in to fitcsvm, nor the object that it returns, ClassificationSVM.
If you have a 2D input space and you want to plot points and support vectors, you can see an example of how to do that here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/classificationsvm.html#bt7go4d
