* @typedef {Object} SVMParam
* SVM constructor parameters. Used for the construction of {@link module:analytics.SVC} and {@link module:analytics.SVR}.
* @property  {string} [algorithm='SGD'] - The algorithm procedure. Possible options are `'SGD'` and `'LIBSVM'`. `'PR_LOQO'`is not supported anymore.
* @property  {number} [c=1.0] - Cost parameter. Increasing the parameter forces the model to fit the training data more accurately (setting it too large may lead to overfitting) .
* @property  {number} [j=1.0] - Unbalance parameter. Increasing it gives more weight to the positive examples (getting a better fit on the positive training examples gets a higher priority). Setting j=n is like adding n-1 copies of the positive training examples to the data set.
* @property  {number} [eps=1e-3] - Epsilon insensitive loss parameter. Larger values result in fewer support vectors (smaller model complexity)
* @property  {number} [batchSize=1000] - Number of examples used in the subgradient estimation. Higher number of samples slows down the algorithm, but makes the local steps more accurate.
* @property  {number} [maxIterations=10000] - Maximum number of iterations.
* @property  {number} [maxTime=1] - Maximum runtime in seconds.
* @property  {number} [minDiff=1e-6] - Stopping criterion tolerance.
* @property  {string} [type='C_SVC'] - The subalgorithm procedure in LIBSVM. Possible options are `'C_SVC'`, `'NU_SVC'` and `'ONE_CLASS'` for classification and `'EPSILON_SVR'`, `'NU_SVR'` and `'ONE_CLASS'` for regression.
* @property  {string} [kernel='LINEAR'] - Kernel type in LIBSVM. Possible options are `'LINEAR'`, `'POLY'`, 'RBF'`, 'SIGMOID'`  and `'PRECOMPUTED'`.
* @property  {number} [gamma=1.0] - Gamma parameter in LIBSVM. Set gamma in kernel function.
* @property  {number} [p=1e-1] - P parameter in LIBSVM. Set the epsilon in loss function of epsilon-SVR.
* @property  {number} [degree=1] - Degree parameter in LIBSVM. Set degree in kernel function.
* @property  {number} [nu=1e-2] - Nu parameter in LIBSVM. Set the parameter nu of nu-SVC, one-class SVM, and nu-SVR.
* @property  {number} [coef0=1.0] - Coef0 parameter in LIBSVM. Set coef0 in kernel function.
* @property  {number} [cacheSize=100] - Set cache memory size in MB (default 100) in LIBSVM.
