Support vector regression model for the prediction of buildings’ maximum seismic response based on real monitoring data by Dongwang Tao, Shizhe Fang, Haixu Liu, Jianqi Lu, Jiang Wang, Qiang Ma

“…To improve the model’s efficiency and practical applicability, we also establish a reduced-feature SVR model (RSVR-MDR) by selecting 10 fundamental parameters based on SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values and the accessibility of features. Our results demonstrate that SVR-MDR model outperform other machine learning models such as kernel ridge regression and decision tree models, and SVR-MDR and RSVR-MDR models outperform conventional loglinear regression and multinomial models, because SVR can map the complex nonlinear function of multiple variables and consider the available information of buildings especially the fundamental frequency. …”
