Abstract

Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) is a Hilbert space consisting of functions that can be represented or reproduced by a kernel function. The development of data science has made RKHS a method that refers to an approach or technique using the concept of reproducing kernels in certain applications, especially machine learning. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the machine learning methods included in the supervised learning category for classification and regression tasks. This research aims to determine the form of linear kernel functions, polynomial kernel functions, and Gaussian kernel functions in Support Vector Machine analysis and analyze their performance in Support Vector Machine classification and regression. Application of the RKHS method in SVM classification analysis using World Disaster Risk Dataset data published by Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV) from Ruhr-University Bochum in 2022 obtained results that are based on the results by comparing the predictions of training data and testing data using linear kernel functions, polynomial kernels and Gaussian kernels, it is recommended that classification using linear kernels provides the best prediction performance.
