It is now time to move on to support vector machines, to see if they help us better define the profile of those customers more inclined to get into default status.

First of all, you should notice that support vector machines are way more recent models since they where developed around the 1990s. Secondly, you should notice that when we talk about SVMs, we are actually talking about a family of models rather than a single one.

I am going to show you now just what you need to know to understand the main concepts behind this model, but I will point out to you some good references in case you want to deepen your knowledge of the topic.
