Amino acids are quite important indices to indicate the growth status of oilseed rape under herbicide stress. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was applied for fast determination of glutamic acid in oilseed rape leaves. The optimal spectral preprocessing method was obtained after comparing Savitzky-Golay smoothing, standard normal variate, multiplicative scatter corre...

This paper presents a new method for real and reactive power tracing in a deregulated power system by introducing the hybrid artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm and least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), namely as ABC-SVM. The idea is to use ABC algorithm to obtain the optimal values of regularization parameter, c and Kernel RBF parameter, r, which are embedded in LS-SVM toolbox and a...

This study investigated the feasibility of using near infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) technique for non-destructive identification of sesame oil. Hyperspectral images of four varieties of sesame oil were obtained in the spectral region of 874-1734 nm. Reflectance values were extracted from each region of interest (ROI) of each sample. Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), su...

Diabetes Mellitus is a major health problem all over the world. Many classification algorithms have been applied for its diagnoses and treatment. In this paper, a hybrid algorithm of Modified-Particle Swarm Optimization and Least SquaresSupport Vector Machine is proposed for the classification of type II DM patients. LS-SVM algorithm is used for classification by finding optimal hyper-plane whi...

Máquinas de vetor de suporte por mínimos quadrados (LS-SVM) e mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS) têm recebido atenção considerável em quimiometria para análise multicomponente. Foi realizada uma comparação entre os métodos LS-SVM e PLS aplicando-os na determinação espectrofotométrica simultânea de cipermetrina, permetrina e tetrametrina. Os espectros de absorbância no UV de soluções metanólicas f...

This paper presents a new approach called clustering technique-based least square support vector machine (CT-LS-SVM) for the classification of EEG signals. Decision making is performed in two stages. In the first stage, clustering technique (CT) has been used to extract representative features of EEG data. In the second stage, least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) is applied to the extra...

In situ measurements with visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (vis-NIR) provide an efficient way for acquiring soil information of paddy soils in the short time gap between the harvest and following rotation. The aim of this study was to evaluate its feasibility to predict a series of soil properties including organic matter (OM), organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), available nitrogen ...

This study develops a least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) based model for bivariate process to diagnose abnormal patterns of process mean vector, and to help identify abnormal variable(s) when Shewhart-type multivariate control charts based on Hotelling’s T 2 are used. On the basis of studying and defining the normal/abnormal patterns of the bivariate process mean shifts, a LS-SVM pa...

This study was carried out for rapid and noninvasive determination of the class of sorghum species by using the manifold dimensionality reduction (MDR) method and the nonlinear regression method of least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) combing with the mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIRS) techniques. The methods of Durbin and Run test of augmented partial residual plot (APaRP) were perform...

This paper presents sampling techniques (ST) concept for feature extraction from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. It describes the application of least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) that executes the classification of EEG signals from two classes, namely normal persons with eye open and epileptic patients during epileptic seizure activity. Decision-making has been carried out in two...
