An Outlier Data Analysis using Support Vector Regression

An Intelligence-Based Model for Supplier Selection Integrating Data Envelopment Analysis and Support Vector Machine

The importance of supplier selection is nowadays highlighted more than ever as companies have realized that efficient supplier selection can significantly improve the performance of their supply chain. In this paper, an integrated model that applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is developed to select efficient suppliers based on their predicted efficiency sco...

Outlier Detection for Support Vector Machine using Minimum Covariance Determinant Estimator

The purpose of this paper is to identify the effective points on the performance of one of the important algorithm of data mining namely support vector machine. The final classification decision has been made based on the small portion of data called support vectors. So, existence of the atypical observations in the aforementioned points, will result in deviation from the correct decision. Thus...

Analysis of Support Vector Regression Model for Micrometeorological Data Prediction

This paper aims to reveal the appropriate amount of training data for accurately and quickly building a support vector regression (SVR) model for micrometeorological data prediction. SVR is derived from statistical learning theory and can be used to predict a quantity in the future based on training that uses past data. Although SVR is superior to traditional learning algorithms such as the art...

Decoding Cognitive States from fMRI Data Using Support Vector Regression

In this paper we describe a method based on Support Vector machines for Regression (SVR) to decode cognitive states from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. In the context of the Pittsburgh Brain Activity Interpretation Competition (PBAIC, 2007), three participants were scanned during three runs of 20-minute immersion in a Virtual Reality Environment (VRE) where they played a gam...
