Abstract
A combined strategy of clustering and support vector regression (SVR) methods is proposed to predict Cyclosporine A (CyA) concentration in renal transplant recipients. Clustering combats the high variability and non-stationarity of the time series and reports knowledge gain in the problem. The SVR outperforms other classical neural networks
