Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the application of Least Squares Support Vector Machine in analyzing the existing structure of brand. We estimate the parameters of the Market Share Attraction Model using a non-parametric technique for function estimation called Least Squares Support Vector Machine, which allows us to perform even nonlinear regression by constructing a linear regression function in a high dimensional feature space. Estimation by Least Squares Support Vector Machine technique makes it a good candidate for solving the Market Share Attraction Model. To illustrate the performance of the proposed method, we use the car sales data in South Korea's car market.

본 논문에서는 시장점유율을 추정할 때 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계를 적용하여 보통최소제곱과 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계의 성능을 비교하고자 한다. 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계는 커널 함수를 사용함으로 고차원의 특징 공간에서 선형회귀로 재구성함으로 비선형 회귀문제까지도 해결할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 비모수 기법인 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계를 이용하여 시장점유율 모형을 추정하고자 한다. 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계를 기반으로 한 모형 추정은 시장점유율 유인모형을 해결하기 위한 좋은 대안이 된다. 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계의 성능을 평가하기 위해 비교 실험에서는 한국 자동차 시장에서 차량 판매량을 이용하여 브랜드별 시장점유율 모형을 추정하였다.
