Abstract

Firstly, a heuristic algorithm for labeling the “outlierness” of samples is presented in this paper. Then based on it, a heuristic weight-setting algorithm for least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) is proposed to obtain the robust estimations. In the proposed algorithm, the weights are set according to the changes of the observed value in the neighborhood of a sample’s input space. Numerical experiments show that the heuristic weight-setting algorithm is able to set appropriate weights on noisy data and hence effectively improves the robustness of LS-SVM.
