This article presents a noticeable performances improvement of a neural classifier based on an RBF network. Based on the Mahalanobis distance, this new classifier increases relatively the recognition rate while decreasing remarkably the number of hidden layer neurons. We obtain thus a new very general RBF classifier, very simple, not requiring any adjustment parameter, and presenting an excelle...

BACKGROUND Artificial neural networks is one of pattern analyzer method which are rapidly applied on a bio-medical field. OBJECTIVE The aim of this research was to propose an appendicitis diagnosis system using artificial neural networks (ANNs). METHODS Data from 801 patients of the university hospital in Dongguk were used to construct artificial neural networks for diagnosing appendicitis ...

The model includes pre-processing time series, design RBF neural networks and -SVR structures, comparison of the results and time series prediction. The prediction...

In this paper, a novel controller is proposed for discrete-time nonlinear systems with uncertain output-channel time delays using RBF neural networks and information entropy. The controller is designed by minimizing the quadratic Renyi entropy. The probability density function (PDF) of tracking error is estimated by Parzen windowing technique. The Jacobian information is estimated by an RBF neu...

Identification and classification of differentially expressed genes is a challenging process.The study was performed to find applicability of supervised feed forward neural networks to solve classification problems in microarray data.We used two neural network learning algorithms namely RBF and MLP for the classification of gene expression of mycobacterium tuberculosis.The result showed that ML...

In this study, a radial basis function (RBF) neural network with three-layer feed forward architecture was developed to effectively predict the viscosity ratio of different ethylene glycol/water based nanofluids. A total of 216 experimental data involving CuO, TiO2, SiO2, and SiC nanoparticles were collected from the published literature to train and test the RBF neural network. The parameters ...

In practice, numerous applications exist where the data are imbalanced. It supposes a damage in the performance of the classifier. In this paper, an appropriate metric for imbalanced data is applied as a filtering technique in the context of Nearest Neighbor rule, to improve the classification accuracy in RBF and MLP neural networks. We diminish atypical or noisy patterns of the majority-class ...

SUMMARY Representing the concept of numerical data by linguistic rules is often desir­ able. In this paper, we present a novel rule-extraction algorithm from the radial basis function (RBF) neural network classifier for representing the hidden concept of numerical data. Gaussian function is used as the basis function of the RBF network. When training the RBF neural network, we allow for large o...

This project consists of two parts. The first part is a general review of the previous and current research on human face recognition, including initial motivation, approaches, major problems and solutions, etc. The second part propose a new method for learning of radial basis function (RBF) neural networks which is based on subtractive clustering algorithm(SCA) and its application to face reco...

In the present study, the reliability assessment of performance-based optimally seismic designed reinforced concrete (RC) and steel moment frames is investigated. In order to achieve this task, an efficient methodology is proposed by integrating Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and neural networks (NN). Two NN models including radial basis function (RBF) and back propagation (BP) models are examine...
