Linear discriminant functions
In a linear classification problem, the feature space can be divided into different regions by hyperplanes. For a two-catagory case, given training data $ \vec{x}_1,\vec{x}_2,...\vec{x}_n \in \mathbb{R}^p $, with known class labels for each point $ y_1, y_2, ..., y_n \in \{+1,-1\} $, each $ \vec{x}_i $ is a p-dimensional vector. The goal is to find the maximum-margin hyperplane separates the training sample points according to their class labels.
