Does someone want to take on the challenge of explaining the basics of this to a lay person? For starters, I don't understand the relationship between the scatter plot and the contour plot. I would guess that the blue (?) dots relate to the darker areas of the contour and the red dots to the lighter areas.
- chestervonwinch 10y agoThere are two classes in the scatter plot -- blue and red points. These can be separated by a line. A line has two parameters, for example, a slope and an intercept (although, other parameterizations are possible). These line parameters are the x and y axis. The lighter and darker areas of the heat map indicate better and worse lines, respectively, for separating the two classes of points.
