Generate sample data#

X = np.sort (5 * np.random.rand (40, 1), axis=0)
y = np.sin (X).ravel()
# add noise to targets
y[::5] += 3 * (0.5 - np.random.rand (8))

Fit regression model#

svr_rbf = SVR (kernel="rbf", C=100, gamma=0.1, epsilon=0.1)
svr_lin = SVR (kernel="linear", C=100, gamma="auto")
svr_poly = SVR (kernel="poly", C=100, gamma="auto", degree=3, epsilon=0.1, coef0=1)

Look at the results#
