""" ===================== SVM: Weighted samples ===================== Plot decision function of a weighted dataset, where the size of points is proportional to its weight. The sample weighting rescales the C parameter, which means that the classifier puts more emphasis on getting these points right. The effect might often be subtle. To emphasize the effect here, we particularly increase the weight of the positive class, making the deformation of the decision boundary more visible.
