This example shows how to estimate the objective function evaluation time in an optimized Bayesian model of SVM classification.

Create an optimized SVM model. For details of this model, see Optimize Cross-Validated Classifier Using bayesopt.

rng default
grnpop = mvnrnd([1,0],eye(2),10);
redpop = mvnrnd([0,1],eye(2),10);
redpts = zeros(100,2);
grnpts = redpts;
for i = 1:100
    grnpts(i,:) = mvnrnd(grnpop(randi(10),:),eye(2)*0.02);
    redpts(i,:) = mvnrnd(redpop(randi(10),:),eye(2)*0.02);
end
cdata = [grnpts;redpts];
grp = ones(200,1);
grp(101:200) = -1;
c = cvpartition(200,'KFold',10);
sigma = optimizableVariable('sigma',[1e-5,1e5],'Transform','log');
box = optimizableVariable('box',[1e-5,1e5],'Transform','log');
minfn = @(z)kfoldLoss(fitcsvm(cdata,grp,'CVPartition',c,...
    'KernelFunction','rbf','BoxConstraint',z.box,...
    'KernelScale',z.sigma));
results = bayesopt(minfn,[sigma,box],'IsObjectiveDeterministic',true,...
    'AcquisitionFunctionName','expected-improvement-plus','Verbose',0);

Predict the evaluation time for various points.

sigma = logspace(-5,5,11)';
box = 1e5*ones(size(sigma));
XTable = table(sigma,box);
time = predictObjectiveEvaluationTime(results,XTable);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Bayesian optimization results, specified as a BayesianOptimization object.

Prediction points, specified as a table with D columns, where D is the number of variables in the problem. The function performs its predictions on these points.

Data Types: table

Output Arguments

collapse all

Estimated objective evaluation times, returned as an N-by-1 vector, where N is the number of rows of XTable. The estimated values are the means of the posterior distribution of the Gaussian process model of the evaluation times of the objective function.
