I am new in MATLAB,I have centers of training images, and centers of testing images stored in 2-D matrix ,I already extracted color histogram features,then find the centers using K-means clustering algorithm,now I want to classify them using using SVM classifier in two classes Normal and Abnormal,I know there is a built in function in MATLAB but I don't know to adapt it to be used in this job,any help or suggestion will be helpful to me.
Thank to All
Thank you ,the svmclassify function classifies each row of the data in Sample,but I've represented each image by four rows of centers out of
K-means clustering algorithm,so I don't know how to do training,any help or suggestion will be helpful to me.
To train your SVM classifier, you can use the svmtrain function as described here
To classify your data, you can use the svmclassify function as described here
PS: Do not hesitate to look at the MatLab documentation at the Mathworks website.
Hope this was helpful.

I am trying to use a cnn to build a classifier for my data.
The training set is comprised of 2D numerical matrices which are not image data.
It seems that Matlab's cnns only work with image inputs:
https://uk.mathworks.com/help/nnet/ref/imageinputlayer-class.html
Does anyone have experience with cnns and non-image data using Matlab's deep learning toolbox?
Thank you.
Well I first would like to understand why you want to use a CNN with non-image data? CNNs are specially good because they take into account information in the neighborhood. Unless your data has some kind of region pattern (like pixels that get together to create a pattern or sentences where word order is relevant) the CNN would not be the best approach to handle it.
That been said, if you still want to use it you could convert the matrix to images. I'm not sure if that would help though.
Function to convert: mat2gray
I have computed colour descriptors of a dataset of images and generated a 152×320 matrix (152 samples and 320 features). I would like to use PCA to reduce the dimensionality of my image descriptors space. I know that I could implement this using Matlab PCA built-in function but as I have just started learning about this concept I would like to implement the Matlab code without the built-in function so I can have a clear understanding how the function works. I tried to find how to do that online but all I could find is the either the general concept of PCA or the implementation of it with the built-in functions without explaining clearly how it works. Anyone could help me with a step by step instructions or a link that could explain a simple way on how to implement PCA for dimensionality reduction. The reason why I'm so confused is because there are so many uses for PCA and methods to implement it and the more I read about it the more confused I get.
PCA is basically taking the dominant eigen vectors of the data (Or better yet their projection of the dominant Eigen Vectors of the covariance matrix).
What you can do is use the SVD (Singular Value Decomposition).
To imitate MATLAB's pca() function here what you should do:
Center all features (Each column of your data should have zero mean).
Apply the svd() function on your data.
Use the V Matrix (Its columns) as your vectors to project your data on. Chose the number of columns to use according to the dimension of the data you'd like to have.
The projected data is now you new dimensionality reduction data.
In the lectures we only mention how to train the RBF network with Gausian function and how to use the "newrb" tool box in Matlab. But in the assignemnet I need to create my own RBF network which using the NN toolbox is forbidden. Basically I not even know how to start it and our professor not willing to provide any information.
With some tips I have write my own program but the performance is very bad, I am wonder if any one can give me some helpful tutorial or guides that how to create the RBF network with Gaussian function without using NN toolbox.
I have used k-means to obtain the centers and gaussian function to caculuate the weights, the main probrlem is that I have no idea how to design the method that transform the Input matrix to the RBF matrix. Hope you can help.
This is clearly homework, and it's not clear what your question is. But I think you are wondering how to create the Gram matrix. If so, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramian_matrix
You should have the math for how to do each step in your textbook and/or notes.
I have a question about the SVM MATLAB toolbox 2009b! the question is:
How I can train SVM classifier for classifying multi-classes datasets in MATLAB toolbox 2009b?
I just want to work with MATLAB toolbox, so please answer it if there is a way to implement it. For example, the below code is for classifying two classes datasets:
svmtrain( training data, ...
labels of training data, ...
'Kernel_Function', ...
'rbf', ...
'RBF_Sigma', ...
sigma value, ...
'Method', ...
'LS', ...
'BoxConstraint', ...
C ...
);
I want to know is there a way for training SVM for multi-classes dataset with writing a code such as above code, or should I write some code for training a SVM for each class versus the other classes?
It means, should I consider 1 for the label of the selected class and set the label of the other classes to 0, and train a SVM with above code, and do it for all classes!?
Thanks for your consideration :-)
I have not used SVM in Matlab, so other people can likely provide a more informed response, but I will share what I have learned.
Matlab Bioinformatics Toolbox SVM
From reading the documentation, the SVM in the Bioinformatics Toolbox appears to only support binary classification. As suggested in the question, a binary classifier can, with some effort, be used to classify into multiple classes. There is some discussion on approaches for doing this in the context of SVM here.
Alternate options
LIBSVM does support multi-class classification and comes with a Matlab interface. You could try installing and using it.
Additionally, while looking into this, I did come across several other Matlab toolboxes with SVM implementations. If LIBSVM is not a good option for you, it may be worth looking around to see if a different SVM implementation fits your needs.
If you have MATLAB release R2014b or later you can use the fitcecoc function in the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox to train a multi-class SVM.
Yup, the way for solving your problem - is to implement one vs all strategy. One of the SVM's lacks is that it has no direct multiclassification implementation.
But you can implement it through the binary classification.
I didn't see any function for svm multi classification in matlab. But i think it is not hard to implement it by yourself
I am a beginner in MATLAB and doing my Programming project in Digital Image Processing,i.e. Magnetic Resonance image classification using wavelet features+SVM+PCA+ANN. I executed the example SVM classification from MATLAB tool and modified that to fit my requirements. I am facing problems in storing more than one feature in an input vector and in giving new input to SVM. Please help.
Simply feed multidimensional feature data to svmtrain(Training, Group) function as Training parameter (Training can be matrix, each column represents separate feature). After that use svmclassify(SVMStruct, Sample) for testing data classification.
