libSVM使用之--grid.py

此工具利用交叉验证的原理来选择参数c和gamma，是否有更佳的参数，有待考证。其中两参数的作用见如下：

 

The SVM with a Gaussian kernel function has two such training parameters: C which controls overfitting of the model, and gamma (γ) which controls the degree of nonlinearity of the model. Gamma is inversely related to sigma which is a degree for spread around a mean in statistics: the higher the value of gamma, the lower the value of sigma, thus the less spread or the more nonlinear the behavior of the kernel. The values of these training parameters C and gamma are determined by grid search and cross validation: the model with the highest estimated performance determines the selected training parameters. Then, the performance of the constructed model is estimated by using 5-fold cross validation on the training data. Finally, the constructed model is validated by predicting the validation data and comparing these predictions with the real observations by means of ROC curves.
