Specifically, how can I find the possible values of sub-option "KernelType" of option "Method" for Classify? Here's an example:

trainingset = 
  ExampleData[{"MachineLearning", "Titanic"}, "TrainingData"];
c = Classify[trainingset, 
  Method -> {"SupportVectorMachine", 
    "KernelType" -> "RadialBasisFunction", 
    "MulticlassMethod" -> "OneVersusAll"}]

And more generally (although this has been asked previously) I'd like to programmatically enumerate all discrete string values for valid sub-options for any given function.

    $\begingroup$ Perhaps because of lack of time, perhaps because they don't feel confident about the functionality not having bugs or being future-proof, who knows. What I don't like is the fact that they try hard to hide the code. Its all Locked $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ How about the options for "MulticlassMethod"? $\endgroup$

Sub-options for Method -> "SupportVectorMachine" include:

  • Linear
  • Sigmoid
  • Polynomial
  • RadialBasisFunction
  • Automatic

In 12.3, there is a help page ref/method/SupportVectorMachine
