Then, the QoSTD is used as a weight of the predicted class scores to adjust the likelihoods of instances. Moreover, two measurements are defined to assess the performance of the classifiers trained by the subjective labelled data. The binary classifiers of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Zhengs are trained and retrained by the real-world data set, utilizing the support vector machine (SVM) and the discrimination analysis (DA) models, so as to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the consistency of likelihoods of instances with the corresponding observations is increased notable for the classes, especially in the cases with the relatively low QoSTD training data set. The experimental results also indicate the solution how to eliminate the miss-labelled instances from the training data set to re-train the classifiers in the subjective domains.展开更多

To solve this issue, the exponential squared loss (ESL) function with a tuning parameter has been investigated for longitudinal data. However, to our knowledge, there is no paper to investigate the robust estimation procedure against outliers within the framework of mean-covariance regression analysis for longitudinal data using the ESL function. In this paper, we propose a robust estimation approach for the model parameters of the mean and generalized autoregressive parameters with longitudinal data based on the ESL function. The proposed estimators can be shown to be asymptotically normal under certain conditions. Moreover, we develop an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm to calculate the parameter estimates, and the balance between the robustness and efficiency can be achieved by choosing appropriate data adaptive tuning parameters. Simulation studies and real data analysis are carried out to illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed approach.展开更多
