This appendix explores the concept of margin in Support Vector Machines (SVM) by analyzing the equation W · X + b = 0. It delves into the geometric interpretation of the margin, defined as W/|W| · (a2 - a1)X1, showcasing how the margin is influenced by the parameters a1 and a2. Through this analysis, we establish the formula for the margin as 2/|W|, demonstrating its significance in separating hyperplanes in SVMs. A clear understanding of these fundamentals aids in grasping the efficiency of SVM in classification tasks.
