In a radial basis function (RBF) network, the RBF centers and widths can be evolved by a cooperative-competitive genetic algorithm. The set of genetic strings in one generation of the algorithm represents one REP network, not a population of competing networks. This leads to moderate computation times for the algorithm as a whole. Selection operates on individual RBFs rather than on whole netwo...

Air pollution is a challenging issue in some of the large cities in developing countries. Air quality monitoring and interpretation of data are two important factors for air quality management in urban areas. Several methods exist to analyze air quality. Among them, we applied the dynamic neural network (TDNN) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) methods to predict the concentrations of ground-level...

BACKGROUND Support vector machine (SVM) has been widely used as accurate and reliable method to decipher brain patterns from functional MRI (fMRI) data. Previous studies have not found a clear benefit for non-linear (polynomial kernel) SVM versus linear one. Here, a more effective non-linear SVM using radial basis function (RBF) kernel is compared with linear SVM. Different from traditional stu...
