OK, that's fine. I was mainly trying to give you an example of a simple SVM
model that has been used successfully for the type of problem you have. The
example chart I referenced had only two dimensions with a splitting plane.
Of course greater accuracy can be achieved by using more dimensions, but
it's hard to visualize.

You might want to try to find the paper "Fung, Glenn. CS 525 Project.
Fall, 1998" and other articles that talk about classifying the authors of
the Federalist Papers.

I wasn't going to charge you anything.
