svm-subset(1)

svm-subset1

A subset selection tool for libsvm

Usage

svm-subset [-s method] dataset number [output1] [output2]

Overview

Training large data is time consuming. Sometimes one should work on a smaller subset first. The python script subset.py randomly selects a specified number of samples. For classification data, we provide a stratified selection to ensure the same class distribution in the subset.

Options

-s method
0

-- stratified selection (classification only) (default)

1

-- random selection

The subset. If output1 is omitted, the subset will be printed on the screen.
output1
output2

The rest of data.

Files

See svm-train(1) for the format of dataset

Examples

svm-subset heart_scale 100 file1 file2

From heart_scale 100 samples are randomly selected and stored in file1. All remaining instances are stored in file2.
