Question

Considering the various supervised machine learning algorithms, a linear classifier that seeks the optimal hyperplane and is typically used for classification, best describes:

Answer Choices:

A. classification and regression tree (CART)

B. support vector machine (SVM)

C. k-nearest neighbor (KNN)

Explanation

Support vector machine (SVM) is a linear classifier that aims to seek the optimal hyperplane, i.e. the one that separates the two sets of data points by the maximum margin. SVM is typically used for classification.
