Abstract

In this paper, the relationship between Gaussian noise and the loss function of the support vector regression machine (SVRM) is analyzed, and then a Gaussian loss function proposed to reduce the effect of such noise on the regression estimates. Since the @e-insensitive loss function cannot reduce noise, a novel support vector regression machine, g-SVRM, is proposed, then a chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) algorithm developed to estimate its unknown parameters. Finally, a hybrid-forecasting model combining g-SVRM with the CPSO is proposed to forecast a multi-dimensional time series. The results of two experiments demonstrate the feasibility of this approach.
