SVM using quadprog in R












0















This set of exercises has the student use a QP solver to solve an SVM in R. The suggested solver is the quadprog package. The quadratic problem is given as:



enter image description here



From the remark about the linear SVM, $K=XX'$, $K$ is a singular matrix usually, at most rank $p$ where $X$ is $ntimes p$. But the solver quadprog requires a positive definite matrix, not just PSD, in the place of $K$, as mentioned many places (and verified). Any ideas what the instructor had in mind?
