Vector

They are also relied upon heavily to make up the basis for some machine learning techniques as well. One example in particular is support vector machines. A support vector machine analyzes vectors across an n-dimensional space to find the optimal hyperplane for a given data set. In essence, a support vector machine will attempt to find a line that have the maximum distance between data sets of both classes. This allows for future data points to be classified with ore confidence, due to increased reinforcement.
