Improving the prediction of petroleum reservoir characterization with a stacked generalization ensemble model of support vector machines
Despite successful applications of ensembles, the petroleum industry has not benefited enough. SVM is promising but its performance depends mostly on the regularization parameter. We propose an SVM ensemble with diverse opinions on the regularization parameter. The proposed model outperformed Random Forest but competitive with SVM Bagging. There is great potential for ensemble models in petroleum reservoir characterization.
