A New Forecast Model Based on Dempster-Shafer Theory and Support Vector Machine

Dempster-Shafer Theory is specially advantaged in information fusion, while Support Vector Machine (SVM) can well deal with high-dimensional limited sample data. This Article firstly forecasts the data samples by categories with multiple SVMs, and hence based thereon, fuses the resulting information from multiple SVM models by using DS Theory. At the end, Anderson's Iris data set is used to simulate the system of the created DS-SVM model, which shows that the approaches proposed in this Article can not only increase the accuracy rate of the SVM forecasting model, but also add propensity scores to the results of the SVM forecasting model.
