Abstract

We propose a novel support vector regression approach called ε-Distance Weighted Support Vector Regression (ε-DWSVR). ε-DWSVR specifically addresses a challenging issue in support vector regression: how to deal with the situation when the distribution of the internal data in the ε-tube is different from that of the boundary data containing support vectors. The proposed ε-DWSVR optimizes the minimum margin and the mean of functional margin simultaneously to tackle this issue. To solve the new optimization problem arising from ε-DWSVR, we adoptdual coordinate descent (DCD) with kernel functions for medium-scale problems and also employ averaged stochastic gradient descent (ASGD) to make ε-DWSVR scalable to larger problems. We report promising results obtained by ε-DWSVR in comparison with five popular regression methods on sixteen UCI benchmark datasets.
