where φ is a nonlinear function selected from a set of typical ones, || . || denotes the Euclidean norm, wi are the tap weights and C ∈ R are called RBF centers. It is easy to see that the formula above is equivalent to a special form of a 2-layer perceptron, which is linear in the parameters by fixing all the centers and nonlinearities in the hidden layer.
