Workspace Node: Support Vector Machines - Results - Plots Tab
In the Support Vector Machines node dialog box, under the Results heading, select the Quick tab to access options to compute various 2D and 3D summary graphs to assist with the exploration and interpretation of results. In particular, the multiple scatterplots of specific predictor variables vs. predicted and observed values is very useful in order to fully understand the fitted model. In general, select a single X variable, a list of Y variables, and a single Z variable; then select the desired graph(s).
The Histogram of X option computes a histogram for the selected X variable.
The Graphs of X and Y option computes single or multiple scatterplots for the selected X variable vs. the selected list of Y variables.
The Graphs of X, Y, and Z option fits surface plots to the triplets of selected variables in X, Y, and Z.
| Element Name | Description |
|---|---|
| X-axis | For all plots, select the type of the variable or quantity to be used as the x-axis. |
| Y-axis | For plots requiring two or more variables (scatterplots, surface plots), also make a selection from the y-axis list. |
| Z-axis | For plots requiring three variables (i.e., surface plots), also make a selection from the z-axis list. |
| Histograms of X | Select this check box to create a histogram for the variable, type of predicted values, or residual/accuracy values, as selected in the X-axis list. |
| Graphs of X and Y | Select this check box to create a scatterplot for the variables, type of predicted values, or residual values, as selected in the X-axis and Y-axis lists. This option is particularly useful for displaying the results for a single predictor variable (selected as the X-axis variable) vs. the predicted and observed values (selected into the list of Y-axis variables). |
| Graphs of X, Y and Z | Select this check box to create a surface plot for the variables, types of predicted values, or residual values, as selected in the X, Y, and Z-axes lists. |
| Include case names | Select this check box to include case names on the graphs.

| OK | Click the OK button to accept all the specifications made in the dialog box and to close it. The analysis results will be placed in the Reporting Documents node after running (updating) the project. |
