    I think it would be better if we have a `parameters.clear` or 
`parameters.remove` method which removes the value from the map.

> Currently SVM outputs the raw decision function values when using the predict 
> function.
> We should have instead the ability to set a threshold above which examples 
> are labeled as positive (1.0) and below negative (-1.0). Then the prediction 
> function can be directly used for evaluation.
