A new regression method based on SVM classification

SVM (Support Vector Machines) is a novel algorithm of machine learning which is based on SLT (Statistical Learning Theory). It can solve the problem characterized by nonlinear, high dimension, small sample and local minimizing perfectly. For non-linear problem, the forecasting technique of FCTR (First classification, then regression) was proposed, based on the classification approach of SVM and has carried on the simulation experiment. The experiment shows that the fitting value which obtains using the return to first would be more precise than directly. Using this method to food production forecast, its accuracy is superior to other production forecasting methods.
