Abstract

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the methods of pattern recognition that separate input data using hyperplane. This method has high capability of pattern recognition by using the technique, which says kernel trick, and the Radial basis function (RBF) kernel is usually used as a kernel function in kernel trick. In this paper we propose using the q-normal distribution to the kernel function, instead of conventional RBF, and compare two types of the kernel function.
