Abstract

In view of the bad approximate results of the existing support vector (SV) kernel for series influenced by multi-factors in quadratic continuous integral space, combining wavelet theory with kernel technique, a wavelet kernel function is put forward in quadratic continuous integral space. And then, wavelet @n-support vector machine (W @n-SVM) with wavelet kernel is proposed. To seek the optimal parameters of W @n-SVM, embedded chaotic particle swarm optimization (ECPSO) is also proposed to optimize parameters of W @n-SVM. The results of application in car sale estimation show that the estimation approach based on the W @n-SVM and ECPSO is effective and feasible. Compared with the traditional model, W @n-SVM method requires fewer samples and has better estimating precision.
