The support vector machine (SVM) is a method for classification and for function approximation. This method commonly makes use of an /spl epsi/-insensitive cost function, meaning that errors smaller than /spl epsi/ remain unpunished. As an alternative, a least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) uses a quadratic cost function. When the LSSVM method is used for function approximation, a nonsp...

In this paper, a modified least squares support vector machine classifier, called the C-variable least squares support vector machine (C-VLSSVM) classifier, is proposed for credit risk analysis. The main idea of the proposed classifier is based on the prior knowledge that different classes may have different importance for modeling and more weight should be given to classes having more importan...

This paper proposed a method to identify nonlinear systems via the fuzzy weighted least squares support machine (FW-LSSVM). At first, we describe the proposed modeling approach in detail and suggest a fast learning scheme for its training. Because the training sample data of independent variable and dependent variable has a certain error, and we obtain the sample which has a certain fuzziness f...

Due to great impacts to air pollution caused by residual coal oxidation in underground mine gob, monitoring and forecasting of hazardous gases emissions have become important topics in mining engineering and environmental research today. This paper presents a robot monitoring system for carbon monoxide emission from coal oxidation in spontaneous combustion condition. According to the terahertz-...

Learning from positive and unlabeled examples (PU learning) is a special case of semi-supervised binary classification. The key feature of PU learning is that there is no labeled negative training data, which makes the traditional classification techniques inapplicable. Similar to the idea of Biased-SVM which is one of the most famous classifier, a biased least squares support vector machine cl...

Abstract Every country must have an accurate and efficient forecasting model to avoid manage the epidemic. This paper suggests upgrade one of evolutionary algorithms inspired by nature, Barnacle Mating Optimizer (BMO). First, exploration phase original BMO is enhanced enforcing replacing sperm cast equation through Levy flight. Then, Least Square Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) partnered with im...

Successful river flow time series forecasting is a primary goal and an essential procedure required in the planning and water resources management. River flow data are important for engineers to design, build and operate various water projects and development. The monthly river flow data taken from Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Malaysia are used in this study. This study aims to develo...

Predicting reservoir water levels helps manage droughts and floods. level is complex because it depends on factors such as climate parameters human intervention. Therefore, predicting needs robust models. Our study introduces a new model for levels. An extreme learning machine, the multi-kernel least square support vector machine (MKLSSVM), developed to predict of in Malaysia. The also novel op...
