mySVM C question

moudar981

I am using the component SVM (copied from its doc: JMySVMLearner provides an internal Java implementation of the mySVM by Stefan Rueping). The parameter C is set to 0 by default, does this mean that by default we have svm WITHOUT slack variables?

Hi,
no. If the parameter is set to 0, a heuristic sets the C value depending on the number of attributes.
