Abstract :
Distribution centers site selection has become a popular problem in recent years. Fine distribution centers site selection can ensure the supply and reduce the cost. By studying the methods proposed by other scholars, a mew method, KPCA (kernel principal component analysis) -SVRM (support vector regression machine) is proposed by this paper. The first step of this method is to apply KPCA to SVRM for feature extraction. KPCA first maps the original inputs into a high dimensional feature space using the kernel method and then calculates PCA in the high dimensional feature space. These new features are then used as the inputs of SVRM to solve the site selection problem. By learning and training, we use the data of this subset to get the solution and find interrelationship of input and output by the SVRM. Practical examples are cited in this paper to illustrate the process. The KPCA-SVRM method can also be used to solve other selection and decision problems.
