//! Linear Support Vector Classifier.
//!
//! This module provides [`LinearSVC`], an optimized linear SVM that operates
//! directly in the primal space without the overhead of a kernel function.
//! It uses coordinate descent on the L2-regularized hinge or squared-hinge
//! loss.
//!
//! Unlike [`SVC`](crate::svm::SVC) with a [`LinearKernel`](crate::svm::LinearKernel),
//! `LinearSVC` avoids computing and caching the full kernel matrix, making it
//! significantly faster for high-dimensional data.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use ferrolearn_linear::linear_svc::LinearSVC;
//! use ferrolearn_core::{Fit, Predict};
//! use ndarray::{array, Array2};
//!
//! let x = Array2::from_shape_vec((6, 2), vec![
//!     1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 1.0,
//!     5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.0, 5.0,
//! ]).unwrap();
//! let y = array![0usize, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1];
//!
//! let model = LinearSVC::<f64>::new();
//! let fitted = model.fit(&x, &y).unwrap();
//! let preds = fitted.predict(&x).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(preds.len(), 6);
//! ```
