Exercise 8.5
The given data file (Ex8_5_NLC) (in Matlab
format or text format) contains two
predictors x1 and x2 and predictand
data y (400 observations), with y taking on the value of 0
or 1. Develop a nonlinear classification model of y as a
function of x1 and x2. Briefly
describe the approach taken (e.g. MLP, SVM, etc.). Forecast
ytest using the new test predictor data
x1test and x2test provided (100
observations).
