%SVMTRAIN Trains an SVM classifier using a simplified version of the SMO
%algorithm.
% [model] = SVMTRAIN(X, Y, C, kernelFunction, tol, max_passes) trains an
% SVM classifier and returns trained model. X is the matrix of training
% examples. Each row is a training example, and the jth column holds the
% jth feature. Y is a column matrix containing 1 for positive examples
% and 0 for negative examples. C is the standard SVM regularization
% parameter. tol is a tolerance value used for determining equality of
% floating point numbers. max_passes controls the number of iterations
% over the dataset (without changes to alpha) before the algorithm quits.
%
% Note: This is a simplified version of the SMO algorithm for training
% SVMs. In practice, if you want to train an SVM classifier, we
% recommend using an optimized package such as:
%
% LIBSVM (http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/)
% SVMLight (http://svmlight.joachims.org/)
