Accurately electric load forecasting has become the most important management goal, however, electric load often presents nonlinear data patterns. Therefore, a rigid forecasting approach with strong general nonlinear mapping capabilities is essential. Support vector regression (SVR) applies the...

Traditional time series forecasting models are difficult to capture the nonlinear patterns. Support vector regression (SVR) has been successfully used to solve nonlinear regression and times series problems. However, parameters determination for a SVR model is competent to the forecasting...

Support vector machines (SVMs) have been successfully employed to solve non-linear regression and time series problems. However, SVMs have rarely been applied to forecasting software reliability. This investigation elucidates the feasibility of the use of SVMs to forecast software reliability....

Accurate forecasting of inter-urban traffic flow has been one of most important issues globally in the research on road traffic congestion. The information of inter-urban traffic with a cyclic data pattern presents a more challenging situation. This investigation presents a short-term traffic...

Predicting fatigue life of composite materials is essential to increase reliability of manufacturing systems. The predicting techniques for fatigue life of composite materials are not widely investigated. The support vector regression (SVR) is an emerging forecasting technique and has been...

The new energy industry is strongly supported by the state, and accurate forecasting of stock price can lead to better understanding of its development. However, factors such as cost and ease of use of new energy, as well as economic situation and policy environment, have led to continuous...
