Robust Least Square Support Vector Regression for Contaminated Data Modeling

Weighted least squares support vector machine (WLSSVM) is a robust version of least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM). It adds weights on error variables to eliminate the influence of outliers. But the weights, which largely depend on the original regression errors from unweighted LS-SVM, might be unreliable for correcting the biased estimation of LS-SVM, especially for the training data set…
