Title
Kernelizing the proportional odds model through the empirical kernel mapping
Abstract
The classification of patterns into naturally ordered labels is referred to as ordinal regression. This paper explores the notion of kernel trick and empirical feature space in order to reformulate the most widely used linear ordinal classification algorithm (the Proportional Odds Model or POM) to perform nonlinear decision regions. The proposed method seems to be competitive with other state-of-the-art algorithms and significantly improves the original POM algorithm when using 8 ordinal datasets. Specifically, the capability of the methodology to handle nonlinear decision regions has been proven by the use of a non-linearly separable toy dataset.
