Prior knowledge-based fuzzy Support Vector Regression

A new method was proposed for incorporating prior knowledge in the form of fuzzy knowledge sets into Support Vector Machine for regression problem. The prior knowledge of Fuzzy IF-THEN rules can be transformed into fuzzy information to generate fuzzy kernel, based on which FSVR (Fuzzy Support Vector Regression) is introduced. The merit of FSVR is that it can incorporate with prior knowledge represented by fuzzy IF-THEN rules to improve the performance of the conventional SVR in incomplete numeral dataset for training. The simulation results are feasible.
