Support vector Machine is small sample method based on statistic learning theory. It is a new method to deal with the highly nonlinear classification and regression problems .It can better deal with the small sample, nonlinear and
Returns weighted percentiles of a sample given the weight vector w
% The idea is to give more emphasis in some examples of data as compared to
% others by giving more weight. For example, we could give lower weights to
% the outliers.
% The motivation to write this function is to compute percentiles for Monte
% Carlos simulations where some simulations are very bad (in terms of goodness
% of fit between simulated and actual value) than the others and to give
% the lower weights based on some goodness of fit criteria.
computes the gravitational acceleration vector at a specified
% ECF location using the JGM2 gravitational ellipsoid only.
% Higher-order gravity terms (the "gravity anomaly") are
% ingnored. Only the pure ellipsoid is used.
