Experimentally optimal ν in support vector regression for different noise models and parameter settings

Published: 01 January 2004 Publication History

Abstract

In Support Vector (SV) regression, a parameter v controls the number of Support Vectors and the number of points that come to lie outside of the so-called ε-insensitive tube. For various noise models and SV parameter settings, we experimentally determine the values of v that lead to the lowest generalization error. We find good agreement with the values that had previously been predicted by a theoretical argument based on a the asymptotic efficiency of a simplified model of SV regression. As a side effect of the experiments, valuable information about the generalization behavior of the remaining SVM parameters and their dependencies is gained. The experimental findings are valid even for complex 'real-world' data sets. Based on our results on the role of the v-SVM parameters, we discuss various model selection methods.
