E. Classification
SVM is a promising nonlinear, nonparametric
classification technique, which already showed good results in
the field of medical diagnostics. Further, the SVM is a potent
algorithm with robust theoretical foundations based on the

generalization with regard to the new data. In the case of
SVMs, a data point is considered as an m-dimensional vector,
and the query is that whether such points can be parted away
with a hyperplane. There are plenty of hyper planes
classifying the data. The common purpose of SVM is to
pinpoint the best hyperplane which represents the largest
separation or margin between the two classes. In fact, SVM
creates a decision surface in the feature space by diverse
kernel functions; linear or nonlinear such as quadratic,
