Hi;
I was trying to use fitcsvm to train and classify my data. However, I notice - correct me if I'm wrong - that fitcsvm could only be used with 2 classes (groups).
My data have more than 2 classes. Is there away to do classify them in matlab?
I did some googling and I read that some recommend to use fitcecoc , while others recommend to use out of the box code multisvm
Please, advise on best approach to go.
Thanking you.

Do you always know how many classes there will be? If so, why not try kmeans?

multisvm appears to be built on top of the older, slower svmtrain function, while fitcecoc uses the newer, faster C++ implementation. fitcecoc offers more options and gets MathWorks tech support.
