In this paper, we suggest a neural network signal detector using radial basis function (RBF) network. We employ this RBF Neural detector to detect the presence or absence of a known signal corrupted by different Gaussian, non-Gaussian and impulsive noise components. In case of non-Gaussian noise, experimental results show that RBF network signal detector has significant improvement in performan...

In this work, we introduce an adaptive neural network controller for a class of nonlinear systems. The approach uses two Radial Basis Functions, RBF networks. The first RBF network is used to approximate the ideal control law which cannot be implemented since the dynamics of the system are unknown. The second RBF network is used for on-line estimating the control gain which is a nonlinear and u...

To estimate the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), indirect manner used of Pedotransfer Functions (PTFs). CEC is one of the important soil fertility factors, and not measured directly because it is costly and time consuming. Thus, used from regression equations between easily and non-easily soil properties. The purpose of this research, is develop the PTFs for CEC, with use of easily available soi...

A high performance speaker-independent isolated-word hybrid speech recognizer was developed which combines Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks. In recognition experiments using a speaker-independent E-set database, the hybrid recognizer had an error rate of 11.5% compared to 15.7% for the robust unimodal Gaussian HMM recognizer upon which the hybrid syste...

work, applies a nonlinear transformation from the input space to the hidden space. The output layer Partial face images, e.g.1 eyes, nose, and ear supplies the response of the network to the activaimages are significant for face recognition. In this tion pattern. paper, we present a method for partial face extraction and recognition based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks. Focus has been ...

Prediction of the production rate of the cutting dimensional stone process is crucial, especially when chain saw machines are used. The cutting dimensional rock process is generally a complex issue with numerous effective factors including variable and unreliable conditions of the rocks and cutting machines. The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type of neural network and Radial Basis Functi...

The main contribution of the present paper is to train efficient neural networks for seismic design of double layer grids subject to multiple-earthquake loading. As the seismic analysis and design of such large scale structures require high computational efforts, employing neural network techniques substantially decreases the computational burden. Square-on-square double layer grids with the va...

Data-defectives are always occurred during collecting urban traffic flow information due to all kinds of sensors’ failures. To mend the defective urban traffic flow information data, a new approach named SARBF neural network fitting is presented. It combines analysis based on spatial autocorrelation and RBF neural network fitting method. The complete data is determined to mend the defective dat...

In this study, a reliability-based RBF neural network ensemble forecasting model is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the existing neural ensemble methods and ameliorate forecasting performance. In this model, the ensemble weights are determined by the reliability measure of RBF network output. For testing purposes, we compare the new ensemble model’s performance with some existing netwo...
