      P=SDSVC(DATA,options)
      [P,E]=SDSVC(DATA,options)

 INPUT
   DATA      SDDATA object

 OUTPUT
   P         Pipeline object
   E         Structure with grid search results

 OPTIONS

             randomly per class for evaluating error criterion (def: 0.25)

  'target',T Numerical target vector for regression

 DESCRIPTION
 SDSVC trains a support vector machine using libSVM.  By default, RBF
 kernel is used with sigma and C parameters optimized using grid search
 minimizing mean error. Polynomial and linear SVM is available using
 'type' option. For multi-class problems, one-against-all strategy is
 adopted by default. It is possible to use one-against-one strategy using
 the identically-named option.
 By default, for RBF and polynomial kernel, sdsvc scales data
 (standardization). Scaling may be switched off using 'noscale' option.
 sdsvc is splitting the DATA into a subset used for training the model and
 a subset used for error estimatiom/parameter selection (by default 25% od
 DATA). This fraction may be adjusted by 'tsfrac' option. Alternatively,
 the user may provide external set for error estimation using 'test'
 option.
 Trained SDSVC pipeline provides access to the kernel parameter
 (sigma/degree), C constant used in training, number of support vectors
 (svcount) and indices of support vectors in the training set (svind).

 Probabilistic soft outputs are available for two-class classifiers with
 'prob' option (Platt 2000, improved by Lin et al., see
 https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/papers/svmprob/svmprob.pdf)

 For imbalanced problems, weight for each class can be specified with
 'C weights',W option (or 'w',W shorthand) where W is a vector with one
 weight per class. Multi-class is supported with one-against-all strategy.

 EXAMPLES
   p=sdsvc(b)
   p'
   origSV=b( p(2).svind ) % p(2) because the first step is scaling
