Asymptotic Properties of Support Vector Machines in High-Dimension, Low-Sample-Size Settings under a Spiked Model

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.39173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we consider asymptotic properties of the support vector machine (SVM) in high-dimension, low-sample-size (HDLSS) settings under a spiked model. The existing theory of the SVM in the HDLSS context relies on the geometric representation of HDLSS data, which requires that the eigenvalues of the covariance matrices are not dominant. We first show that the geometric representation does not hold under the spiked model. We show that the Gram matrix of HDLSS data converges in distribution to a random matrix, namely, the HDLSS data converge to a random configuration in a finite-dimensional space whose dimension is given by the number of the spikes. We show that the misclassification rates of the SVM do not tend to zero, that is, the S
