|  | Sliding window size (w) | C and γ | Smoothing window size (ws) | Weight parameter (w1 and w-1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | 3 ≤ w ≤ 41 (step = 2) | Default | - | Default ratio |
Step 2 | Optimized w from step 1 | -3 ≤ log2C ≤ 12 (step = 1) |  | Default ratio |
|  |  | -3 ≤ log2γ ≤ -15 (step = -1) |  |  |
Step 3 | Optimized w from step 1 | Optimized C and γ from step 2 | 3 ≤ ws ≤ 11 (step = 2) | Default ratio |
Step 4 | Optimized w from step 1 | Optimized C and γ from step 2 | Optimized ws from step 3 | 1 ≤ w1 ≤ 8# (step = 1), w-1 = 1 |
Final | Optimized w from step 1 | Optimized C and γ from step 2 | Optimized ws from step 3 | Optimized w1 and w-1 from step4 |
