Weighted support vector machines for regression and its application

In the standard support vector machines for regression, the required error of regression estimation and the penalty for violation of the required error are equally considered for every training sample, which is unsuitable in case there exists significant difference among the training samples. In the proposed weighted support vector machines, each training sample had different approximation error requirement and different penalty. The dual quadratic optimization of weighted support vector machines for regression and its sequential minimal optimization (SMO) algorithms were given in detail. The experiments on the measurement of gasoline octane numbers by near-infrared spectroscopy, where the importance of each training sample was characterized by the geometrical distance from the test sample, show that the measurement accuracy is improved with the proposed weighted support vector machines.
