// Ensure results are reproducible
Accord.Math.Random.Generator.Seed = 0;

// Example binary data
double[][] inputs =
{
    new double[] { -1, -1 },
    new double[] { -1,  1 },
    new double[] {  1, -1 },
    new double[] {  1,  1 }
};

int[] xor = // xor labels
{
    -1, 1, 1, -1
};

// Instantiate a new Grid Search algorithm for Kernel Support Vector Machines
var gridsearch = GridSearch<double[], int>.Create(

    ranges: new GridSearchRange[]
    {
        new GridSearchRange("complexity", new double[] { 0.00000001, 5.20, 0.30, 0.50 } ),
        new GridSearchRange("degree",     new double[] { 1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5 } ),
        new GridSearchRange("constant",   new double[] { 0, 1, 2 } )
    },

    learner: (p) => new SequentialMinimalOptimization<Polynomial>
    {
        Complexity = p["complexity"],
        Kernel = new Polynomial((int)p["degree"].Value, p["constant"])
    },

    // Define how the model should be learned, if needed
    fit: (teacher, x, y, w) => teacher.Learn(x, y, w),

    // Define how the performance of the models should be measured
    loss: (actual, expected, m) => new ZeroOneLoss(expected).Loss(actual)
);

// If needed, control the degree of CPU parallelization
gridsearch.ParallelOptions.MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 1;

// Search for the best model parameters
var result = gridsearch.Learn(inputs, xor);

// Get the best SVM generated during the search
SupportVectorMachine<Polynomial> svm = result.BestModel;

// Get an estimate for its error:
double bestError = result.BestModelError;

// Get the best values for its parameters:
double bestC = result.BestParameters["complexity"].Value;
double bestDegree = result.BestParameters["degree"].Value;
double bestConstant = result.BestParameters["constant"].Value;
