We propose a method for optimizing the complexity of Radial basis function (RBF) networks. The method involves two procedures: adaptation (training) and selection. The first procedure adaptively changes the locations and the width of the basis functions and trains the linear weights. The selection procedure performs the elimination of the redundant basis functions using an objective function ba...

This paper, two Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models using radial basis function (RBF) nets are developed for the design of Aperture Coupled Microstrip Antennas (ACMSA) for different number of design parameters. The effect of increasing the number of design parameters on the ANN model is also discussed in this work. The performances of the models when compared are found that on decreasing the...

This paper presents a comparative study of six soft computing models namely multilayer perceptron networks, Elman recurrent neural network, radial basis function network, Hopfield model, fuzzy inference system and hybrid fuzzy neural network for the hourly electricity demand forecast of Czech Republic. The soft computing models were trained and tested using the actual hourly load data obtained ...

In maintenance field, prognostic is recognized as a key feature as the prediction of the remaining useful life of a system which allows avoiding inopportune maintenance spending. Assuming that it can be difficult to provide models for that purpose, artificial neural networks appear to be well suited. In this paper, an approach combining a Recurrent Radial Basis Function network (RRBF) and a pro...

This paper presents a new approach to model selection based on hypothesis testing. We 4rst describe a procedure to generate di5erent scores for any candidate model from a single sample of training data and then discuss how to apply multiple comparison procedures (MCP) to model selection. MCP statistical tests allow us to compare three or more groups of data while controlling the probability of ...

This paper presents modelling of internal combustion (IC) engine with adaptive neural networks. A radial basis function network model with both centres and weights adapted and a model with only weights adapted are compared with a fixed parameter model. The developed models are used in model based predictive control (MPC) to form an adaptive nonlinear MPC scheme and applied to engine speed track...

In this paper we provide a short overview of the Radial Basis Functions (RBF), their properties, the motivations behind their use and some of their applications. RBF’s have been employed for functional approximation in time-series modeling and in pattern classification. They have been shown to implement the Bayesian rule and to model any continuous inputoutput mapping. RBF’s are embedded in a t...

A study is presented to compare the performance of multilayer perceptrons, radial basis function networks, and probabilistic neural networks for classification. In many classification problems, probabilistic neural networks have outperformed other neural classifiers. Unfortunately, with this kind of networks, the number of required operations to classify one pattern directly depends on the numb...
