a b s t r a c tRecently, ordinal regression, which predicts categories of ordinal scale, has received considerable attention. In this paper, we propose a new approach to solve ordinal regression problems within the learning vector quantization framework. It extends the previous approach termed ordinal generalized matrix learning vector quantization with a more suitable and natural cost function, leading to more intuitive parameter update rules. Moreover, in our approach the bandwidth of the prototype weights is automatically adapted. Empirical investigation on a number of datasets reveals that overall the proposed approach tends to have superior out-of-sample performance, when compared to alternative ordinal regression methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
