This example creates a simple set of data to train on and then shows you how to use the kernel ridge regression tool to find a good decision function that can classify examples in our data set. The data used in this example will be 2 dimensional data and will come from a distribution where points with a distance less than 13 from the origin are labeled +1 and all other points are labeled as -1. All together, the dataset will contain 10201 sample points. */ #include #include using namespace std; using namespace dlib; int main() { // This typedef declares a matrix with 2 rows and 1 column.
