Objectives. In this study a new method for asthma outcome prediction, which is based on Principal Component Analysis and Least Square Support Vector Machine Classifier, is presented. Most of the asthma cases appear during the first years of life. Thus, the early identification of young children being at high risk of developing persistent symptoms of the disease throughout childhood is an important public health priority.Methods. The proposed intelligent system consists of three stages. At the first stage, Principal Component Analysis is used for feature extraction and dimension reduction. At the second stage, the pattern classification is achieved by using Least Square Support Vector Machine Classifier. Finally, at the third stage the performance evaluation of the system is estimated by using classification accuracy and 10-fold cross-validation.Results. The proposed prediction system can be used in asthma outcome prediction with 95.54 % success as shown in the experimental results.Conclusions. This study indicates that the proposed system is a potentially useful decision support tool for predicting asthma outcome and that some risk factors enhance its predictive ability.

As a chronic disease, diabetes mellitus has emerged as a worldwide epidemic. The aim of this study is to classify diabetes disease by developing an intelligence system using machine learning techniques. Our method is developed through clustering, noise removal and classification approaches. Accordingly, we use expectation maximization, principal component analysis and support vector machine for clustering, noise removal and classification tasks, respectively. We also develop the proposed method for incremental situation by applying the incremental principal component analysis and incremental support vector machine for incremental learning of data. Experimental results on Pima Indian Diabetes dataset show that proposed method remarkably improves the accuracy of prediction and reduces computation time in relation to the non-incremental approaches. The hybrid intelligent system can assist medical practitioners in the healthcare practice as a decision support system.

Due to the many factors affecting the cost of transmission line engineering and the lack of mutual independence, it is difficult to predict the cost. Firstly, the principal component analysis is used to process the original indicator data, eliminating the correlation between the original indicators and extracting the potential comprehensive independent indicators. Then, the new indicator is used as the input set to construct the predictive learning model based on the least squares support vector machine, and the predicted output and the actual value are compared and analyzed. The results show that the model can achieve the desired prediction effect in the case of small samples.

<p>An investigation into optimized support vector machine (SVM) integrated with principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal least square (OLS) in classifying asphyxiated infant cry was performed in this study. Three approaches were used in the classification; SVM, PCA-SVM, and OLS-SVM. Various numbers of features extracted from Mel-frequency Cepstral coefficient (MFCC) were tested to obtain the optimal parameters of SVM kernels. Once the optimal feature set is obtained, PCA and OLS selected the most significant features and the optimized SVM then classified the selected cry patterns. In PCA-SVM, eigenvalue-one-criterion (EOC), cumulative percentage variance (CPV) and the Scree test (SCREE) were used to select the most significant features. SVM with radial basis function (RBF) kernel was chosen in the classification stage. The classification accuracy and computation time were computed to evaluate the performance of each method. The best method for classifying asphyxiated infant cry is PCA-SVM with EOC since it produces the highest classification accuracy which is 94.84%. Using PCA-SVM, the classification process was performed in 1.98s only. The results also show that employing feature selection techniques could enhance the classifier performance.</p>
