Support vector machine based on Gaussian kernel has been used in many areas. The parameter σ of the Gaussian kernel has great impact on the performance of the classifier. This paper proposes an approach to choose an optimal parameterσbased on the properties of the kernel function and the angle of geometric distance. What is more, we have solved the problem of the optimal option of the parameter σ by means of the McLaughlin expansion of the Gaussian kernel function. The experiment results indicate that this method can get parameter σ very quickly and can achieve high efficiency. Thus the difficulty of the estimation of the parameterσcan be solved by our method.
