Code for the paper "Tuning support vector machines and boosted trees using optimization algorithms" in the Journal of Data Science

Each directory is outlined below and each of the directories contains a readme that explains the files in the subfolders.

The data directory contains the data files used to do the research, the grid search results, the optimization test results, and the EZtune test results.

The scripts directory contains the scripts used to create the figures in the paper and the performance tables in the supplementary material. These files are numbered to match the figures and tables in the paper.

This folder also contains the scripts used to load and format the data for streamlined computation, a set of helpful functions used in the table and plot creation, and some example computation files that demonstrate how the grid search, optimization tests, and the EZtune verification were done.

Contains the plots from the paper as generated by the scripts in this repository.

Contains the tables as created by the performance table scripts. A text and a latex coded table is included.
