Predicting Cervical Hyperextension Injury: A Covariance Guided Sine Cosine Support Vector Machine

Abstract

This study proposes an effective intelligent predictive model for prediction of cervical hyperextension injury. The prediction model is constructed by combing an improved sine cosine algorithm (SCA) with support vector machines (SVM), which is named COSCA-SVM. The core of the developed model is the COSCA method that combines the opposition-based learning mechanism and covariance mechanism to boost and recover the exploratory competence of SCA. The proposed COSCA approach is utilized to optimize the two critical parameters of the SVM, and it is also employed to catch the optimal feature subset. Based on the optimal parameter combination and feature subset, COSCA-SVM is able to make self-directed prediction of cervical hyperextension injury. The proposed COSCA was compared with other well-known and effective methods using 23 benchmark problems. Simulation results verify that the proposed COSCA is significantly superior to studied methods in dealing with majority of benchmark problems. Meanwhile, the proposed COSCA-SVM is compared with six other machine learning approaches considering a reallife dataset. Results have shown that the proposed COSCA-SVM can achieve better classification routine and higher stability on all four indicators. Therefore, we can expect that COSCA-SVM can be a promising building block for predicting cervical hyperextension injury.

“…Generally, metaheuristic algorithms and machine learning techniques have been widely used in different engineering studies, especially in transportation problems, which they are in desperate need of complex and accurate solutions to provide more accurate prediction models than statistical methods due to their capability of handlig more complex functions and classification problems [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Pattern recognition tools and their accurate analysis using optimized prediction tasks are a trendy topic in the two recent years [26][27][28][29][30]. Supplementary to this, various prediction methods have been used in different engineering problems by the emergence of various datasets [31][32][33][34][35].…”

Rationalized Sine Cosine Optimization With Efficient Searching Patterns

“…The SCA is a new population-based optimization algorithm recently put forward by Mirjalili [51]. Like all the other stochastic optimization algorithms, the SCA process can be divided into two parts, namely the exploration phase and the exploitation phase [70]. Based on these two phases, different regions of the search space can be explored utilizing equations that include sine and cosine functions.…”
