Abstract
Support vector regressions (SVR) have been applied to time series prediction recently and perform better than RBF networks. However, only one kernel scale is used in SVR. We implemented a multi scale support vector regression (MS-SVR), which has several different kernel scales, and tested it on two time series benchmarks: Mackey-Glass time series and Laser generated data. In both cases, MS-SVR improves the performance of SVR greatly: fewer support vectors and less prediction error.
