• Title: A working likelihood approach to support vector regression with a data-driven insensitivity parameter
• Authors: Jinran Wu and You-Gan Wang
• Abstract summary: The insensitive parameter in support vector regression determines the set of support vectors that greatly impacts the prediction. A data-driven approach is proposed to determine an approximate value for this insensitive parameter. This data-driven support vector regression also statistically standardizes samples using the scale of noises.

• Abstract: The insensitive parameter in support vector regression determines the set of support vectors that greatly impacts the prediction. A data-driven approach is proposed to determine an approximate value for this insensitive parameter by minimizing a generalized loss function originating from the likelihood principle. This data-driven support vector regression also statistically standardizes samples using the scale of noises. Nonlinear and linear numerical simulations with three types of noises ($\epsilon$-Laplacian distribution, normal distribution, and uniform distribution), and in addition, five real benchmark data sets, are used to test the capacity of the proposed method. Based on all of the simulations and the five case studies, the proposed support vector regression using a working likelihood, data-driven insensitive parameter is superior and has lower computational costs.

  It is proven that a linear model will produce exact predictions even in the presence of nonlinear dependencies that violate the model assumptions. The hyper-curve approach is especially suited for the regularization of problems with noise in predictor variables and can be used to remove noisy and "improper" predictors from the model.

  We consider a linear mean regression model with random design and potentially heteroscedastic, heavy-tailed errors. We use a strictly convex, smooth variant of the Huber loss function with tuning parameter depending on the parameters of the problem. For the resulting estimator we show sign-consistency and optimal rates of convergence in the $ell_infty$ norm.
