Support Vector Regression for Outliers Removal

G. Malik; M. Tarique

Abstract: Support vector machine (SVM) has been first introduced by Vapnik. There are two main categories for support vector machines: support vector classification (SVC) and support vector regression (SVR). SVM is a learning system using a high dimensional feature space. It yields prediction functions that are expanded on a subset of support vectors. The model produced by support vector classification only depends on a subset of the training data, because the cost function for building the model does not care about training points that lie beyond the margin. The regression analysis gives absurd results, if there are outlier?s presents in the data sets.
