Assessment of Healthcare Services using Models Based on Support Vector Machines

STAGE-DISCHARGE MODELING USING SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINES

Establishment of rating curves are often required by the hydrologists for flow estimates in the streams, rivers etc. Measurement of discharge in a river is a time-consuming, expensive, and difficult process and the conventional approach of regression analysis of stage-discharge relation does not provide encouraging results especially during the floods. P

Reliability assessment using probabilistic support vector machines

This paper presents a methodology to calculate probabilities of failure using Probabilistic Support Vector Machines (PSVMs). Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have recently gained attention for reliability assessment because of several inherent advantages. Specifically, SVMs allow one to construct explicitly the boundary of a failure domain. In addition, they provide a technical solution for probl...

Identification of NARX Hammerstein Models Based on Support Vector Machines

This paper presents a new algorithm for identification of NARX Hammerstein systems using support vector machines (SVMs) to model the static nonlinear elements. The SVM is fitted by minimizing an ε-insensitive, L-1 cost function which is robust in the presence of outliers. Another advantage of this algorithm is that the value of the uncertainty level epsilon can be specified by the user which gi...

Predicting cardiac arrhythmia on ECG signal using an ensemble of optimal multicore support vector machines

The use of artificial intelligence in the process of diagnosing heart disease has been considered by researchers for many years. In this paper, an efficient method for selecting appropriate features extracted from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, based on a genetic algorithm for use in an ensemble multi-kernel support vector machine classifiers, each of which is based on an optimized genetic al...
