Comparing and analysing three kinds of conformal predictor

This paper studies the conformal predictor based on k-nearest neighbour, the conformal predictor based on support vector machine, the conformal predictor based on logistic regression model. We use the three conformal predictors to predict the irises standard data sets and cigarette strength index data sets, then by comparing the results we find that in irises standard data sets, the conformal predictor based on k-nearest neighbour and the conformal predictor based on support vector machine perform well. In cigarette strength index data sets the conformal predictor based on support vector machine is the best. Through the experimental analysis, we find that the result is reliable.
