Kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFDA) is a popular classification technique which requires the user to predefine an appropriate kernel. Since the performance of KFDA depends on the choice of the kernel, the problem of kernel selection becomes very important. In this paper we treat the...

We propose a proximal version of the knowledge based support vector machine formulation, termed as knowledge based proximal support vector machines (KBPSVMs) in the sequel, for binary data classification. The KBPSVM classifier incorporates prior knowledge in the form of multiple polyhedral sets,...
