Abstract
This paper proposes a Multiclass Least Squares Twin Support Vector Machine (MLSTSVM) classifier for multi-class classification problems. The formulation of MLSTSVM is obtained by extending the formulation of recently proposed binary Least Squares Twin Support Vector Machine (LSTSVM) classifier. For M-class classification problem, the proposed classifier seeks M-non parallel hyper-planes, one for each class, by solving M-linear equations. A regularization term is also added to improve the generalization ability. MLSTSVM works well for both linear and non-linear type of datasets. It is relatively simple and fast algorithm as compared to the other existing approaches. The performance of proposed approach has been evaluated on twelve benchmark datasets. The experimental result demonstrates the validity of proposed MLSTSVM classifier as compared to the typical multi-classifiers based on ‘Support Vector Machine’ and ‘Twin Support Vector Machine’. Statistical analysis of the proposed classifier with existing classifiers is also performed by using Friedman’s Test statistic and Nemenyi post hoc techniques.
