    Abstract: The support vector machine (SVM) has become very popular within the machine learning literature. Recently, SVM has received much attention from statisticians. It is well known that for multicategory classification problem, the commonly used multicategory SVM is based on the frequentist framework. In this paper, we develop a multi-class support vect...
