Identifying Support Vectors

Identify support vectors using distance computation and equation constraint.

Support vectors

Support vectors are the data points from each class that are the closest to the hyperplane. They’re responsible for defining the decision boundary or the hyperplane and, ultimately, the data classification. All other data points that aren’t support vectors do not affect the decision boundary or the hyperplane and do not contribute to the data classification.
