“…Notice that in this case the function f + h = h is γ-strongly convex with γ = λ min , where λ min is the smallest eigenvalue of the matrix K. Due to the continuity of the functions g i , i = 1, ..., n, the qualification condition required in Theorem 15 is guaranteed. We solved (46) by Algorithm 14 and used for µ > 0 the following formula (see [8]) As initial choices in Algorithm 14 we took τ 0 = 0.99 2γ K , λ = K + 1 and σ i,0 = 1 + τ 0 (2γ − K τ 0 )/λ/(nτ 0 K 2 ), i = 1, ..., n, and tested different combinations of the kernel parameter σ over a fixed number of 1500 iterations. In Table 2 we present the misclassification rate in percentage for the training and for the test data (the error for the training data is less than the one for the test data).…”
