The performance is mostly affected by which kernel is used. A promising way is to learn the kernel from the data automatically. A general regularized risk functional （RRF） criterion for kernel matrix learning is proposed. Compared with the RRF criterion, general RRF criterion takes into account the geometric distributions of the embedding data points. It is proven that the distance between different geometric distdbutions can be estimated by their centroid distance in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Using this criterion for kernel matrix learning leads to a convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming （QCQP） problem. For several commonly used loss functions, their mathematical formulations are given. Experiment results on a collection of benchmark data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

For marketing application, this paper proposes a dynamic model of customer interpurchase time with geometric distribution. This model considers that there is a change point in interpurchase time and two types of probability density functions are demonstrated （time decreasing before changing; time increasing after changing）. With the description of change point, Bernoulli and Poisson distributions also are discussed in the model construction.展开更多
