“…Suykens and Vandewalle (1999) proposed the least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), which can be seen as the least squares version of SVM (Vapnik, 1995(Vapnik, , 1998.By using LS-SVM the linear equations for solutions and the generalized cross validation (GCV) function for the model selection can be easily induced. Shim and Hwang (2015) proposed a method for fitting the semivarying coefficient regression model using least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR) technique, which analyzes the dynamic relation between a response and features.
