It uses data provided by non intrusive sensors and devices to predict the house occupant. The authors' model, named Behavior Classification Model (BCM), applies Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier to learn the users' habits when they perform activities, and then predicts the user. BCM was tested using real data and compared with a frequency based approach. In this paper the authors present also their approach to improve the accuracy of BCM using SVM feature selection algorithm.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The model, named Behavior Classification Model (BCM), applies Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier to learn the users' habits when they perform activities, and then predicts the user.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>BCM was tested using real data and compared with a frequency based approach.
