What is the role of support vectors in defining decision boundary stability?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Support vectors determine stability because they are the only points influencing the hyperplane.
Deep explanation
Since only support vectors define the margin, small perturbations in non-support vectors do not affect the decision boundary. This makes SVM stable and robust compared to models influenced by all data points.
