We have seen that we can fit an SVM with a non-linear kernel in order to perform classification using a non-linear decision boundary. We will now see that we can also obtain a non-linear decision boundary by performing logistic regression using non-linear transformations of the features.
(a) Generate a data set with n = 500 and p = 2, such that the observations belong to two classes with a quadratic decision boundary between them. For instance, you can do this as follows:
set.seed(7)
x1 = runif(500)-0.5
x2 = runif(500)-0.5
y = 1*(x1^2 - x2^2 > 0)
(b) Plot the observations, colored according to their class labels. Your plot should display X1 on the x-axis, and X2 on the yaxis.
plot(x1[y==0], x2[y==0], col="red", xlab="X1", ylab="X2", pch=20)
points(x1[y==1], x2[y==1], col="blue", pch=20)
(c) Fit a logistic regression model to the data, using X1 and X2 as predictors.
dat = data.frame(x1 = x1, x2 = x2, y = as.factor(y))
glm.fit = glm(y~., data=dat, family="binomial")

(d) Apply this model to the training data in order to obtain a predicted class label for each training observation. Plot the observations, colored according to the predicted class labels. The decision boundary should be linear.
glm.prob = predict(glm.fit, newdata=dat, type = "response")
glm.pred = ifelse(glm.prob > 0.5, 1, 0)
data.pos = dat[glm.pred == 1, ]
data.neg = dat[glm.pred == 0, ]
plot(data.pos$x1, data.pos$x2, col = "blue", xlab = "X1", ylab = "X2", pch = 20)
points(data.neg$x1, data.neg$x2, col = "red", pch = 16)
(e) Now fit a logistic regression model to the data using non-linear functions of X1 and X2 as predictors (e.g. X21 , X1×X2, log(X2), and so forth).
glm.fit2 = glm(y~poly(x1,2) + poly(x2,2) + log(x2) + I(x1*x2), data=dat, family = "binomial")
## Warning in log(x2): NaNs produced
## Warning: glm.fit: algorithm did not converge
## Warning: glm.fit: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred
(f) Apply this model to the training data in order to obtain a predicted class label for each training observation. Plot the observations, colored according to the predicted class labels. The decision boundary should be obviously non-linear. If it is not, then repeat (a)-(e) until you come up with an example in which the predicted class labels are obviously non-linear.
glm.probs2 = predict(glm.fit2, newdata = dat, type = "response")
## Warning in log(x2): NaNs produced
glm.pred2 = ifelse(glm.probs2 >= 0.5, 1, 0)
data.pos2 = dat[glm.pred2 == 1,]
data.neg2 = dat[glm.pred2 == 0,]
plot(data.pos2$x1, data.pos2$x2, col="blue", xlab="X1", ylab="X2", pch=20)
points(data.neg2$x1, data.neg2$x2, col="red", pch=16)
(g) Fit a support vector classifier to the data with X1 and X2 as predictors. Obtain a class prediction for each training observation. Plot the observations, colored according to the predicted class labels.

(i) Comment on your results.
Both the Linear SVM and Non-Linear SVM resemable the true classifications for this data. The Logistic Regressions did not accurately predict the classification.
In this problem, you will use support vector approaches in order to predict whether a given car gets high or low gas mileage based on the Auto data set.

(a) Create a binary variable that takes on a 1 for cars with gas mileage above the median, and a 0 for cars with gas mileage below the median.

(b) Fit a support vector classifier to the data with various values of cost, in order to predict whether a car gets high or low gas mileage. Report the cross-validation errors associated with different values of this parameter. Comment on your results.
We can see from the below output that the cross-validation error of 0.01269231 is minimized at cost = 100. The optimal model selected is a Radial SVM model with C = 100 and 63 Support Vectors with 30 of them classified as “low MPG” and 33 classified as “high MPG”.

(d) Make some plots to back up your assertions in (b) and (c). Hint: In the lab, we used the plot() function for svm objects only in cases with p = 2. When p > 2, you can use the plot() function to create plots displaying pairs of variables at a time. Essentially, instead of typing > plot(svmfit , dat) where svmfit contains your fitted model and dat is a data frame containing your data, you can type > plot(svmfit , dat , x1∼x4) in order to plot just the first and fourth variables. However, you must replace x1 and x4 with the correct variable names. To find out more, type ?plot.svm.
