Selecting the optimal decision boundary, however, is not a straightforward process. The distance from an arbitrary data point (boldsymbol{x}_i) to the optimal hyperplane in our case is given by. We now turn our attention to the problem of finding the optimal hyperplane. Derivation of a Linear SVM. Solving for (gamma_i) yields.
