sorry for late answer; I did not use often so I'm not an expert in SVM alg. from what I understand, there are regression models (linear and nonlinear) used there. you definitely know it, but could be helpfull to attach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NxnPkZM9bc
Although I have not yet used Support Vector Machine but in different AI techniques the algorithms differ but the statistical model more or less remains the same. Like in ANN, principle is based upon human neuron wheras in ANFIS it is hybrid of ANN and Fuzzy logic. Both at the end uses regression analysis (linear, non-linear and multi-variate) for predicting the output.
