Scikit Learn SVC decision_function and predict

by

I don’t fully understand your code, but let’s go trough the example of the documentation page you referenced:

import numpy as np
X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [1, 1], [2, 1]])
y = np.array([1, 1, 2, 2])
from sklearn.svm import SVC
clf = SVC()
clf.fit(X, y)

Now let’s apply both the decision function and predict to the samples:

clf.decision_function(X)
clf.predict(X)

The output we get is:

array([[-1.00052254],
       [-1.00006594],
       [ 1.00029424],
       [ 1.00029424]])
array([1, 1, 2, 2])

And that is easy to interpret: The desion function tells us on which side of the hyperplane generated by the classifier we are (and how far we are away from it). Based on that information, the estimator then label the examples with the corresponding label.
