Accurate real-time crash risk evaluation is essential for making prevention strategy in order to proactively improve traffic safety. Quite a number of models have been developed to evaluate traffic crash risk, by using real-time surveillance data. In this paper, the basic idea of traffic safety region is introduced into highway crash risk evaluation. Traffic safety region aims to describe the s...

A precise predictive model is needed to obtain a clear understanding of the changing dissolved oxygen content in outdoor crab ponds, to assess how to reduce risk and to optimize water quality management. The uncertainties in the data from multiple sensors are a significant factor when building a dissolved oxygen content prediction model. To increase prediction accuracy, a new hybrid dissolved o...

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...

To date, exploring an efficient method for optimizing Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LSSVM) hyperparameters has been an enthusiastic research area among academic researchers. LSSVM is a practical machine learning approach that has been broadly utilized in numerous fields. To guarantee its convincing performance, it is crucial to select an appropriate technique in order to obtain the opt...

Hybrid linear analysis (HLA), partial least-squares (PLS) regression, and the linear least square support vector machine (LSSVM) were used to determinate the soluble solids content (SSC) of apple by Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy. The performance of these three linear regression methods was compared. Results showed that HLA could be used for the analysis of complex solid ...

Problem statement: As the performance of Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LSSVM) is highly rely on its value of regularization parameter, γ and kernel parameter, σ, manmade approach is clearly not an appropriate solution since it may lead to blindness in certain extent. In addition, this technique is time consuming and unsystematic, which consequently affect the generalization performance...

For least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) the lack of sparse, while the standard sparse algorithm exist a problem that it need to mark all of training data. We propose an active learning algorithm based on LSSVM to solve sparse problem. This method first construct a minimum classification LSSVM, and then calculate the uncertainty of the sample, select the closest category to mark the sam...

A ship power equipments' fault monitoring signal usually provides few samples and the data's feature is non-linear in practical situation. This paper adopts the method of the least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) to deal with the problem of fault pattern identification in the case of small sample data. Meanwhile, in order to avoid involving a local extremum and poor convergence precision...

This paper proposes an EMD-LSSVM (empirical mode decomposition least squares support vector machine) model to analyze the CSI 300 index. A WD-LSSVM (wavelet denoising least squares support machine) is also proposed as a benchmark to compare with the performance of EMD-LSSVM. Since parameters selection is vital to the performance of the model, different optimization methods are used, including s...
