A technique for approximating a continuous function of n variables with a radial basis function (RBF) neural network is presented. The method uses an n-dimensional raised-cosine type of RBF that is smooth, yet has compact support. The RBF network coefficients are low-order polynomial functions of the input. A simple computational procedure is presented which significantly reduces the network tr...

A novel method for constructing RBF networks is presented. It is based on Boosting, an ensemble method that combines several classifiers obtained using any other classification method. If the classifiers that are going to be combined by boosting are radialbasis functions, then the boosting method produces a RBF network as result. The method for constructing a RBF is based on obtaining a decisio...

introduction: with using multiple linear regression (mlr), can simultaneously analyses several different variables, but to get the desirable results from the mlr, the samples must be much and accurate. therefore, this method has high sensitivity and may cause errors in results. in addition, to use this method, the variable must have normal distribution and modification follow from a linear rela...

In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for mammographic images interpretation in order to detect the benign and malignant anomalies. Using a neural evolutionary approach based on the Radial Basis Function neural network (RBF) and the evolutionary strategy (ES). After applying the growing region algorithm in segmentation stage, the RBF neural network detects the suspect regions. The inferen...

This paper proposes a novel neural-network approach to blind source separation in nonlinear mixture. The approach utilizes a radial basis function (RBF) neural-network to approximate the inverse of the nonlinear mixing mapping which is assumed to exist and able to be approximated using an RBF network. A contrast function which consists of the mutual information and partial moments of the output...

This work presents a control strategy using a network with radial basis function (RBF network) with adaptation in dual mode. The objective of the strategy is to use the approximate capacity of the RBF network to control nonlinear systems with unknown parameters or with uncertainties. The proposed control uses the structure of Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) and a RBF network whose param...

A novel reduced complexity Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network based equaliser, referred to as the In-phase/Quadrature-phase RBF Equaliser (I/Q-RBFEQ), is proposed. The I/Q-RBF-EQ is employed in the context of turbo equalisation (TEQ) assisted by iterative channel estimation. The performance of the I/Q-RBF-TEQ is characterized in a noise limited environment over an equally weighted, symb...

Radial basis neural (RBF) networks provide an excellent solution to many pattern recognition and classi cation problems. However, RBF networks are also a local representation technique that enables the easy conversion of the hidden units into symbolic rules. This paper examines rules extracted from RBF networks. We use the iris ower classication task and a vibration diagnosis classi cation task...
