# liblinear-predict(1)

Make predictions based on a trained linear classifier model

## NAME

liblinear-predict - Make predictions based on a trained linear classifier model

## SYNOPSIS

**linear-predict** \[*options*\] *test\_file* *model\_file* *output\_file*\

## DESCRIPTION

**liblinear-predict** uses the linear classifier *model-file* to make predictions for each of the samples in *test\_file* and stores the results in *output\_file*.

## OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

- **-b *(0\|1)***

  Whether to output probability estimates or not (default: **0**)

- **-q**

  quiet mode (no outputs)

## EXAMPLES

Train a linear SVM using L2-loss function with **linear-train**(1):

```
 liblinear-train data_file
```

Output probability estimates (for logistic regression only):

```
 liblinear-predict -b 1 test_file data_file.model output_file
```
