    double c = 2;

SupportVectorRegressor¶

A support vector regressor.

message SupportVectorRegressor {
    Kernel kernel = 1;

    // Support vectors, either sparse or dense format
    oneof supportVectors {
        SparseSupportVectors sparseSupportVectors = 2;
        DenseSupportVectors denseSupportVectors = 3;
    }

    // Coefficients, one for each support vector
    Coefficients coefficients = 4;
