I have some trouble plotting the image which is in my head.
I want to visualize the Kernel-trick with Support Vector Machines. So I made some two-dimensional data consisting of two circles (an inner and an outer circle) which should be separated by a hyperplane. Obviously this isn't possible in two dimensions - so I transformed them into 3D. Let n be the number of samples. Now I have an (n,3)-array (3 columns, n rows) X of data points and an (n,1)-array y with labels. Using sklearn I get the linear classifier via
clf = svm.SVC(kernel='linear', C=1000)
clf.fit(X, y)
I already plot the data points as scatter plot via
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=y, s=30, cmap=plt.cm.Paired)
Now I want to plot the separating hyperplane as surface plot. My problem here is the missing explicit representation of the hyperplane because the decision function only yields an implicit hyperplane via decision_function = 0. Therefore I need to plot the level set (of level 0) of an 4-dimensional object.
Since I'm not a python expert I would appreciate if somebody could help me out! And I know that this isn't really the "style" of using a SVM but I need this image as an illustration for my thesis.

Desired Output
I want to get something like that.
In general I want to reconstruct what they do in this article, especially "Non-linear transformations".
Part of your question is addressed in this question on linear-kernel SVM. It's a partial answer, because only linear kernels can be represented this way, i.e. thanks to hyperplane coordinates accessible via the estimator when using linear kernel.
Another solution is to find the isosurface with marching_cubes
This solution involves installing the scikit-image toolkit (https://scikit-image.org) which allows to find an isosurface of a given value (here, I considered 0 since it represents the distance to the hyperplane) from the mesh grid of the 3D coordinates.
In the code below (copied from yours), I implement the idea for any kernel (in the example, I used the RBF kernel), and the output is shown beneath the code. Please consider my footnote about 3D plotting with matplotlib, which may be another issue in your case.

Running the code produces the following image with Matplotlib, where the green semi-transparent surface represents the non-linear decision boundary.
Footnote: 3D plotting with matplotlib
Note that Matplotlib 3D is not able to manage the "depth" of objects in some cases, because it can be in conflict with the zorder of this object. This is the reason why sometimes the hyperplane look to be plotted "on top of" the points, even it should be "behind". This issue is a known bug discussed in the matplotlib 3d documentation and in this answer.
If you want to have better rendering results, you may want to use Mayavi, as recommended by the Matplotlib developers, or any other 3D Python plotting library.
I am trying to smoothen a scatter plot shown below using SciPy's B-spline representation of 1-D curve. The data is available here.
The code I used is:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from scipy import interpolate
data = np.genfromtxt("spline_data.dat", delimiter = '\t')
x = 1000 / data[:, 0]
y = data[:, 1]
x_int = np.linspace(x[0], x[-1], 100)
tck = interpolate.splrep(x, y, k = 3, s = 1)
y_int = interpolate.splev(x_int, tck, der = 0)
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (5.15,5.15))
plt.subplot(111)
plt.plot(x, y, marker = 'o', linestyle='')
plt.plot(x_int, y_int, linestyle = '-', linewidth = 0.75, color='k')
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
plt.show()
I tried changing the order of the spline and the smoothing condition, but I am not getting a smooth plot.
B-spline interpolation should be able to smoothen the data but what is wrong? Any alternate method to smoothen this data?
Use a larger smoothing parameter. For example, s=1000:
tck = interpolate.splrep(x, y, k=3, s=1000)
This produces:
Assuming we are dealing with noisy observations of some phenomena, Gaussian Process Regression might also be a good choice. Knowledge about the variance of the noise can be included into the parameters (nugget) and other parameters can be found using Maximum Likelihood estimation. Here's a simple example of how it could be applied:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from sklearn.gaussian_process import GaussianProcess
data = np.genfromtxt("spline_data.dat", delimiter='\t')
x = 1000 / data[:, 0]
y = data[:, 1]
x_pred = np.linspace(x[0], x[-1], 100)
# <GP regression>
gp = GaussianProcess(theta0=1, thetaL=0.00001, thetaU=1000, nugget=0.000001)
gp.fit(np.atleast_2d(x).T, y)
y_pred = gp.predict(np.atleast_2d(x_pred).T)
# </GP regression>
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5.15, 5.15))
plt.subplot(111)
plt.plot(x, y, marker='o', linestyle='')
plt.plot(x_pred, y_pred, linestyle='-', linewidth=0.75, color='k')
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
plt.show()
which will give:
In your specific case, you could also try changing the last argument of the np.linspace function to a smaller number, np.linspace(x[0], x[-1], 10), for example.
Demo code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from scipy import interpolate
data = np.random.rand(100,2)
tempx = list(data[:, 0])
tempy = list(data[:, 1])
x = np.array(sorted([point*10 + tempx.index(point) for point in tempx]))
y = np.array([point*10 + tempy.index(point) for point in tempy])
x_int = np.linspace(x[0], x[-1], 10)
tck = interpolate.splrep(x, y, k = 3, s = 1)
y_int = interpolate.splev(x_int, tck, der = 0)
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (5.15,5.15))
plt.subplot(111)
plt.plot(x, y, marker = 'o', linestyle='')
plt.plot(x_int, y_int, linestyle = '-', linewidth = 0.75, color='k')
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
plt.show()
You could also smooth the data with a rolling_mean in pandas:
import pandas as pd
data = [...(your data here)...]
smoothendData = pd.rolling_mean(data,5)
the second argument of rolling_mean is the moving average (rolling mean) period. You can also reverse the data 'data.reverse', take a rolling_mean of the data that way, and combine it with the forward rolling mean. Another option is exponentially weighted moving averages:
Pandas: Exponential smoothing function for column
or using bandpass filters:
fft bandpass filter in python

I could really use a tip to help me plotting a decision boundary to separate to classes of data. I created some sample data (from a Gaussian distribution) via Python NumPy. In this case, every data point is a 2D coordinate, i.e., a 1 column vector consisting of 2 rows. E.g.,
[ 1
2 ]
Let's assume I have 2 classes, class1 and class2, and I created 100 data points for class1 and 100 data points for class2 via the code below (assigned to the variables x1_samples and x2_samples).
mu_vec1 = np.array([0,0])
cov_mat1 = np.array([[2,0],[0,2]])
x1_samples = np.random.multivariate_normal(mu_vec1, cov_mat1, 100)
mu_vec1 = mu_vec1.reshape(1,2).T # to 1-col vector
mu_vec2 = np.array([1,2])
cov_mat2 = np.array([[1,0],[0,1]])
x2_samples = np.random.multivariate_normal(mu_vec2, cov_mat2, 100)
mu_vec2 = mu_vec2.reshape(1,2).T
When I plot the data points for each class, it would look like this:
Now, I came up with an equation for an decision boundary to separate both classes and would like to add it to the plot. However, I am not really sure how I can plot this function:
def decision_boundary(x_vec, mu_vec1, mu_vec2):
g1 = (x_vec-mu_vec1).T.dot((x_vec-mu_vec1))
g2 = 2*( (x_vec-mu_vec2).T.dot((x_vec-mu_vec2)) )
return g1 - g2
I would really appreciate any help!
EDIT:
Intuitively (If I did my math right) I would expect the decision boundary to look somewhat like this red line when I plot the function...
Your question is more complicated than a simple plot : you need to draw the contour which will maximize the inter-class distance. Fortunately it's a well-studied field, particularly for SVM machine learning.
The easiest method is to download the scikit-learn module, which provides a lot of cool methods to draw boundaries: scikit-learn: Support Vector Machines
Code :
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import scipy
from sklearn import svm
mu_vec1 = np.array([0,0])
cov_mat1 = np.array([[2,0],[0,2]])
x1_samples = np.random.multivariate_normal(mu_vec1, cov_mat1, 100)
mu_vec1 = mu_vec1.reshape(1,2).T # to 1-col vector
mu_vec2 = np.array([1,2])
cov_mat2 = np.array([[1,0],[0,1]])
x2_samples = np.random.multivariate_normal(mu_vec2, cov_mat2, 100)
mu_vec2 = mu_vec2.reshape(1,2).T
fig = plt.figure()
plt.scatter(x1_samples[:,0],x1_samples[:,1], marker='+')
plt.scatter(x2_samples[:,0],x2_samples[:,1], c= 'green', marker='o')
X = np.concatenate((x1_samples,x2_samples), axis = 0)
Y = np.array([0]*100 + [1]*100)
C = 1.0 # SVM regularization parameter
clf = svm.SVC(kernel = 'linear', gamma=0.7, C=C )
clf.fit(X, Y)
Linear Plot
w = clf.coef_[0]
a = -w[0] / w[1]
xx = np.linspace(-5, 5)
yy = a * xx - (clf.intercept_[0]) / w[1]
plt.plot(xx, yy, 'k-')
MultiLinear Plot
C = 1.0 # SVM regularization parameter
clf = svm.SVC(kernel = 'rbf', gamma=0.7, C=C )
clf.fit(X, Y)
h = .02 # step size in the mesh
# create a mesh to plot in
x_min, x_max = X[:, 0].min() - 1, X[:, 0].max() + 1
y_min, y_max = X[:, 1].min() - 1, X[:, 1].max() + 1
xx, yy = np.meshgrid(np.arange(x_min, x_max, h),
np.arange(y_min, y_max, h))
# Plot the decision boundary. For that, we will assign a color to each
# point in the mesh [x_min, m_max]x[y_min, y_max].
Z = clf.predict(np.c_[xx.ravel(), yy.ravel()])
# Put the result into a color plot
Z = Z.reshape(xx.shape)
plt.contour(xx, yy, Z, cmap=plt.cm.Paired)
Implementation
If you want to implement it yourself, you need to solve the following quadratic equation:
The Wikipedia article
Unfortunately, for non-linear boundaries like the one you draw, it's a difficult problem relying on a kernel trick but there isn't a clear cut solution.
Based on the way you've written decision_boundary you'll want to use the contour function, as Joe noted above. If you just want the boundary line, you can draw a single contour at the 0 level:
f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(7, 7))
c1, c2 = "#3366AA", "#AA3333"
ax.scatter(*x1_samples.T, c=c1, s=40)
ax.scatter(*x2_samples.T, c=c2, marker="D", s=40)
x_vec = np.linspace(*ax.get_xlim())
ax.contour(x_vec, x_vec,
decision_boundary(x_vec, mu_vec1, mu_vec2),
levels=[0], cmap="Greys_r")
Which makes:
Those were some great suggestions, thanks a lot for your help! I ended up solving the equation analytically and this is the solution I ended up with (I just want to post it for future reference:

And the code can be found here
EDIT:
I also have a convenience function for plotting decision regions for classifiers that implement a fit and predict method, e.g., the classifiers in scikit-learn, which is useful if the solution cannot be found analytically. A more detailed description how it works can be found here.
You can create your own equation for the boundary:
where you have to find the positions x0 and y0, as well as the constants ai and bi for the radius equation. So, you have 2*(n+1)+2 variables. Using scipy.optimize.leastsq is straightforward for this type of problem.
The code attached below builds the residual for the leastsq penalizing the points outsize the boundary. The result for your problem, obtained with:
x, y = find_boundary(x2_samples[:,0], x2_samples[:,1], n)
ax.plot(x, y, '-k', lw=2.)
x, y = find_boundary(x1_samples[:,0], x1_samples[:,1], n)

I like the mglearn library to draw decision boundaries. Here is one example from the book "Introduction to Machine Learning with Python" by A. Mueller:
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(10, 3))
for n_neighbors, ax in zip([1, 3, 9], axes):
clf = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=n_neighbors).fit(X, y)
mglearn.plots.plot_2d_separator(clf, X, fill=True, eps=0.5, ax=ax, alpha=.4)
mglearn.discrete_scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], y, ax=ax)
ax.set_title("{} neighbor(s)".format(n_neighbors))
ax.set_xlabel("feature 0")
ax.set_ylabel("feature 1")
axes[0].legend(loc=3)
If you want to use scikit learn, you can write your code like this:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
# read data
data = pd.read_csv('ex2data1.txt', header=None)
X = data[[0,1]].values
y = data[2]
# use LogisticRegression
log_reg = LogisticRegression()
log_reg.fit(X, y)
# Coefficient of the features in the decision function. (from theta 1 to theta n)
parameters = log_reg.coef_[0]
# Intercept (a.k.a. bias) added to the decision function. (theta 0)
parameter0 = log_reg.intercept_
# Plotting the decision boundary
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,7))
x_values = [np.min(X[:, 1] -5 ), np.max(X[:, 1] +5 )]
# calcul y values
y_values = np.dot((-1./parameters[1]), (np.dot(parameters[0],x_values) + parameter0))
colors=['red' if l==0 else 'blue' for l in y]
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], label='Logistics regression', color=colors)
plt.plot(x_values, y_values, label='Decision Boundary')
plt.show()

Here is the result:
(blue the quadratic case, red the linear case (equal variances)
I know this question has been answered in a very thorough way analytically. I just wanted to share a possible 'hack' to the problem. It is unwieldy but gets the job done.
Start by building a mesh grid of the 2d area and then based on the classifier just build a class map of the entire space. Subsequently detect changes in the decision made row-wise and store the edges points in a list and scatter plot the points.
def disc(x): # returns the class of the point based on location x = [x,y]
temp = 0.5 + 0.5*np.sign(disc0(x)-disc1(x))
# disc0() and disc1() are the discriminant functions of the respective classes
return 0*temp + 1*(1-temp)
num = 200
a = np.linspace(-4,4,num)
b = np.linspace(-6,6,num)
X,Y = np.meshgrid(a,b)
def decColor(x,y):
temp = np.zeros((num,num))
print x.shape, np.size(x,axis=0)
for l in range(num):
for m in range(num):
p = np.array([x[l,m],y[l,m]])
#print p
temp[l,m] = disc(p)
return temp
boundColorMap = decColor(X,Y)
group = 0
boundary = []
for x in range(num):
group = boundColorMap[x,0]
for y in range(num):
if boundColorMap[x,y]!=group:
boundary.append([X[x,y],Y[x,y]])
group = boundColorMap[x,y]
boundary = np.array(boundary)
Sample Decision Boundary for a simple bivariate gaussian classifier
Given two bi-variate normal distributions, you can use Gaussian Discriminant Analysis (GDA) to come up with a decision boundary as the difference between the log of the 2 pdf's.
Here's a way to do it using scipy multivariate_normal (the code is not optimized):
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.stats import multivariate_normal
from numpy.linalg import norm
from numpy.linalg import inv
from scipy.spatial.distance import mahalanobis
def normal_scatter(mean, cov, p):
size = 100
sigma_x = cov[0,0]
sigma_y = cov[1,1]
mu_x = mean[0]
mu_y = mean[1]
x_ps, y_ps = np.random.multivariate_normal(mean, cov, size).T
x,y = np.mgrid[mu_x-3*sigma_x:mu_x+3*sigma_x:1/size, mu_y-3*sigma_y:mu_y+3*sigma_y:1/size]
grid = np.empty(x.shape + (2,))
grid[:, :, 0] = x; grid[:, :, 1] = y
z = p*multivariate_normal.pdf(grid, mean, cov)
return x_ps, y_ps, x,y,z
# Dist 1
mu_1 = np.array([1, 1])
cov_1 = .5*np.array([[1, 0], [0, 1]])
p_1 = .5
x_ps, y_ps, x,y,z = normal_scatter(mu_1, cov_1, p_1)
plt.plot(x_ps,y_ps,'x')
plt.contour(x, y, z, cmap='Blues', levels=3)
# Dist 2
mu_2 = np.array([2, 1])
#cov_2 = np.array([[2, -1], [-1, 1]])
cov_2 = cov_1
p_2 = .5
x_ps, y_ps, x,y,z = normal_scatter(mu_2, cov_2, p_2)
plt.plot(x_ps,y_ps,'.')
plt.contour(x, y, z, cmap='Oranges', levels=3)
# Decision Boundary
X = np.empty(x.shape + (2,))
X[:, :, 0] = x; X[:, :, 1] = y
g = np.log(p_1*multivariate_normal.pdf(X, mu_1, cov_1)) - np.log(p_2*multivariate_normal.pdf(X, mu_2, cov_2))
plt.contour(x, y, g, [0])
plt.grid()
plt.axhline(y=0, color='k')
plt.axvline(x=0, color='k')
plt.plot([mu_1[0], mu_2[0]], [mu_1[1], mu_2[1]], 'k')
plt.show()
If p_1 != p_2, then you get non-linear boundary. The decision boundary is given by g above.
Then to plot the decision hyper-plane (line in 2D), you need to evaluate g for a 2D mesh, then get the contour which will give a separating line.
You can also assume to have equal co-variance matrices for both distributions, which will give a linear decision boundary. In this case, you can replace the calculation of g in the above code with the following:
W = inv(cov_1).dot(mu_1-mu_2)
x_0 = 1/2*(mu_1+mu_2) - cov_1.dot(np.log(p_1/p_2)).dot((mu_1-mu_2)/mahalanobis(mu_1, mu_2, cov_1))
X = np.empty(x.shape + (2,))
X[:, :, 0] = x; X[:, :, 1] = y
g = (X-x_0).dot(W)
