Least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) is a kernel trick gaining a lot of popularities in the regression and classification problems. We use LS-SVM to propose a iterative algorithm for a nonlinear generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model in the mean (GARCH-M) model to estimate the mean and the conditional volatility of stock market returns. The proposed method combines a weighted LS-SVM for the mean and unweighted LS-SVM for the conditional volatility. In this paper, we show that nonlinear GARCH-M models have a higher performance than the linear GARCH model and the linear GARCH-M model via real data estimations.

The randomness and incipient nature of certain faults in reactor systems warrant a robust and dynamic detection mechanism. Existing models and methods for fault diagnosis using different mathematical/statistical inferences lack incipient and novel faults detection capability. To this end, we propose a fault diagnosis method that utilizes the flexibility of data-driven Support Vector Machine (SVM) for component-level fault diagnosis. The technique integrates separately-built, separately-trained, specialized SVM modules capable of component-level fault diagnosis into a coherent intelligent system, with each SVM module monitoring sub-units of the reactor coolant system. To evaluate the model, marginal faults selected from the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) are simulated in the steam generator and pressure boundary of the Chinese CNP300 PWR (Qinshan I NPP) reactor coolant system, using a best-estimate thermal-hydraulic code, RELAP5/SCDAP Mod4.0. Multiclass SVM model is trained with component level parameters that represent the steady state and selected faults in the components. For optimization purposes, we considered and compared the performances of different multiclass models in MATLAB, using different coding matrices, as well as different kernel functions on the representative data derived from the simulation of Qinshan I NPP. An optimum predictive model - the Error Correcting Output Code (ECOC) with TenaryComplete coding matrix - was obtained from experiments, and utilized to diagnose the incipient faults. Some of the important diagnostic results and heuristic model evaluation methods are presented in this paper.

To improve the training efficiency and generalization performance of a support vector machine (SVM) in a large-scale set, an optimal SVM learning method based on adaptive sparse sampling and the granularity shift factor is presented. The proposed method combines sampling optimization with learner optimization. First, an adaptive sparse sampling method based on the potential function density clustering is designed to adaptively obtain sparse sampling samples, which can achieve a reduction in the training sample set and effectively approximate the spatial structure distribution of the original sample set. A granularity shift factor method is then constructed to optimize the SVM decision hyperplane, which fully considers the neighborhood information of each granularity region in the sparse sampling set. Experiments on an artificial dataset and three benchmark datasets show that the proposed method can achieve a relatively higher training efficiency, as well as ensure a good generalization performance of the learner. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.

Color histograms have been used as feature vectors to characterize the color features of given images, but they have a limitation in efficiency by generating high-dimensional feature vectors. In this paper, we present a method to reduce the dimension of the feature vectors by applying PCA (principal components analysis) to the color histogram of a given vehicle image. With SVM (support vector machine) method, the dimension-reduced feature vectors are used to recognize the colors of vehicles. After reducing the dimension of the feature vector by a factor of 32, the successful recognition rate is reduced only 1.42% compared to the case when we use original feature vectors. Moreover, the computation time for the color recognition is reduced by a factor of 31, so we could recognize the colors efficiently.

Microarray gene expression profiling technology is one of the most important research topics in clinical diagnosis of disease. Given thousands of genes, only a small number of them show strong correlation with a certain phenotype. To identify such an optimal subset from thousands of genes is intractable, which plays a crucial role when classify multiple-class genes express models from tumor samples. This paper proposes an efficient classifier design method to simultaneously select the most relevant genes using an intelligent genetic algorithm (IGA) and design an accurate classifier using Support Vector Machine (SVM). IGA with an intelligent crossover operation based on orthogonal experimental design can efficiently solve large-scale parameter optimization problems. Therefore, the parameters of SVM as well as the binary parameters for gene selection are all encoded in a chromosome to achieve simultaneous optimization of gene selection and the associated SVM for accurate tumor classification. The effectiveness of the proposed method IGA/SVM is evaluated using four benchmark datasets. It is shown by computer simulation that IGA/SVM performs better than the existing method in terms of classification accuracy.

In this study, Multi-Radial Basis Function Support Vector Machine (Multi-RBF SVM) classifier is introduced based on a composite kernel function. In the proposed multi-RBF support vector machine classifier, the input space is divided into several local subsets considered for extremely nonlinear classification tasks. Each local subset is expressed as nonlinear classification subspace and mapped into feature space by using kernel function. The composite kernel function employs the dual RBF structure. By capturing the nonlinear distribution knowledge of local subsets, the training data is mapped into higher feature space, then Multi-SVM classifier is realized by using the composite kernel function through optimization procedure similar to conventional SVM classifier. The original training data set is partitioned by using some unsupervised learning methods such as clustering methods. In this study, three types of clustering method are considered such as Affinity propagation (AP), Hard C-Mean (HCM) and Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique Algorithm (ISODATA). Experimental results on benchmark machine learning datasets show that the proposed method improves the classification performance efficiently.

In this paper, we propose a gesture recognition system to recognize motions using the shape information of MHI (Motion History Image). The system acquires MHI to provide information on motions from images with input and extracts the gradient images from such MHI for each X and Y coordinate. It extracts the shape information by applying the shape context to each gradient image and uses the extracted pattern information values as the feature values. It recognizes motions by learning and classifying the obtained feature values with a SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier. The suggested system is able to recognize the motions for multiple people as well as to recognize the direction of movements by using the shape information of MHI. In addition, it shows a high ratio of recognition with a simple method to extract features.

Vision based night-time vehicle detection has been an emerging research field in various advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) and automotive vehicle as well as automatic head-lamp control. In this paper, we propose night-time vehicle detection method based on multi-class support vector machine(SVM) that consists of thresholding, labeling, feature extraction, and multi-class SVM. Vehicle light candidate blobs are extracted by local mean based thresholding following by labeling process. Seven geometric and stochastic features are extracted from each candidate through the feature extraction step. Each candidate blob is classified into vehicle light or not by multi-class SVM. Four different multi-class SVM including one-against-all(OAA), one-against-one(OAO), top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM classifiers are implemented and evaluated in terms of vehicle detection performances. Through the simulations tested on road video sequences, we prove that top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM have relatively better performances than the others.

In this paper, we use Support Vector Machine to predict the susceptibility of chronic hepatitis from single nucleotide polymorphism data. Our data set consists of SNP data for 328 patients based on 28 SNPs and patients classes(chronic hepatitis, healthy). We use leave-one-out cross validation method for estimation of the accuracy. The experimental results show that SVM with SNP is capable of classifying the SNP data successfully for chronic hepatitis susceptibility with accuracy value of 67.1%. The accuracy of all SNPs with health related feature(sex, age) is improved more than 7%(accuracy 74.9%). This result shows that the accuracy of predicting susceptibility can be improved with health related features. With more SNPs and other health related features, SVM prediction of SNP data is a potential tool for chronic hepatitis susceptibility.
