Abstract

As real world data, larceny-theft rates are most likely to have both linear and nonlinear components. A single model such as the linear or nonlinear model may not be sufficient to model the larceny-theft rate. Thus, a hybridization of the linear and nonlinear models is proposed for modeling the larceny-theft rate. The proposed model combines Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models. Particle swarm optimization is used to optimize the parameters of SVR and ARIMA models. The proposed model is equipped with features selection that combines grey relational analysis and SVR to choose the significant economic indicators for the larceny-theft rate. The experimental results show that the proposed model has better accuracy than the linear, nonlinear, and existing hybrid models in modeling the larceny-theft rate of United States.
