Model combination is an important approach to improving the generalization performance of support vector machine (SVM), but usually has low computational efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel probabilistic model combination method for support vector machine on regularization path (PMCRP). We first design an efficient regularization path algorithm, namely the regularization path of support vector machine based on positive-definite kernel (PDSVMP), which constructs the initial candidate model set. Then, we combine the initial models using Bayesian model averaging. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show that PMCRP has significant advantage over cross-validation and the Generalized Approximate Cross-Validation (GACV), meanwhile guaranteeing high computation efficiency of model combination.
