Neuro-fuzzy systems based on Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFN) and other hybrid artificial intelligence techniques are currently under intensive investigation. This paper presents a RBFN training algorithm based on evolutionary programming and cooperative evolution. The algorithm alternatively applies basis function adaptation and backpropagation training until a satisfactory error is achie...

The prediction of software development effort has been focused mostly on the accuracy comparison of algorithmic models rather than on the suitability of the approach for building software effort prediction systems. Several estimation techniques have been developed to predict the Effort estimation. In this paper the main focus is on investigating the accuracy of the prediction of effort using RB...

This paper is concerned with the design of an Incremental Radial Basis Function Network (IRBFN) by combining Linear Regression (LR) and local RBFN for the prediction of heating load and cooling load in residential buildings. Here the proposed IRBFN is designed by building a collection of information granules through Context-based Fuzzy C-Means (CFCM) clustering algorithm that is guided by the d...

Raw goat milk pricing is based on the milk quality especially on fat, solid not fat (SNF) and density. Therefore, there is a need of approach for composition quantization. This study applied radial basis function network (RBFN) to calibrate fat, SNF, and density with visible and near infrared spectra (400~2500 nm). To find the optimal parameters of goal error and spread used in RBFN, a response...

The paper investigates the application of inversion of a radial basis function network (RBFN) to nonlinear control problems for which the structure of the nonlinearity is unknown. Initially, the RBF network is trained to learn the forward dynamics of the plant. Two different controller structures are then proposed based on this identified RBFN model. In one scheme, a feedback control law is der...

A mechanism called PSO-RBFN, which is composed of radial basis function (RBF) network and particle swarm optimization (PSO), for predicting the errors and to filtering the high frequency noise is proposed. As a model nonlinearity identification mechanism, the PSO-RBFN will implement the on-line identification of nonlinear dynamics errors such that the modeling error can be compensated. The PSO-...

A new approach using a radial basis function network (RBFN) for pulse compression is proposed. In the study, networks using 13-element Barker code, 35-element Barker code and 21-bit optimal sequences have been implemented. In training these networks, the RBFN-based learning algorithm was used. Simulation results show that RBFN approach has significant improvement in error convergence speed (ver...

This paper presents a robust approach to identify multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. Integrating support vector regression (SVR) and annealing dynamical learning algorithm (ADLA), the proposed method is adopted to optimize a radial basis function network (RBFN) for identification of MIMO systems. In the system identification, first, SVR is adopted to determine the number of hidden layer n...

A radial basis function neural network (RBFN) approach was used to develop a multi-input, multi-output model for the effect of diets varying in the percentage of ME provided by protein (% ME(P)), fat (% ME(F)), and carbohydrate (% ME(C)) on live weight gain, protein gain, and fat gain in growing chickens. Thirty-three data lines representing response of the White Leghorn male chickens during 23...
