8. A support vector machine has been built to predict whether a patient is at risk of cardiovascular disease. In the dataset used to train the model there are two target levels—high risk (the positive level, +1) or low risk

(the negative level, −1)—and three descriptive features—AGE, BMI, and BLOOD PRESSURE. The support vectors in trained the model are shown in the table below (all descriptive feature values have been standardised).

AGE -0.4549 BMI BLOOD PRESSURE RISK 0.0095 0.2203 low risk -0.2843 -0.5253

In the model the value of w0 is −0.0216, and the values of the α
parameters are ⟨1.6811, 0.2384, 0.2055, 1.7139⟩. What predictions would this model make for the following query instances?

0.3668 low risk 0.3729 0.0904 -1.0836 high risk 0.558 0.2217 0.2115 high

AGE -0.4549 BMI BLOOD PRESSURE RISK 0.0095 0.2203 low risk -0.2843 -0.5253 0.3668 low risk 0.3729 0.0904 -1.0836 high risk 0.558 0.2217 0.2115 high risk
