A practical radial basic function network and its application

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become important tools in many fields, such as pattern recognition, signal processing and artificial intelligence. But many ANNs have their defects. For example, the results of RBF networks greatly rely on the parameters of the basic functions and the squared errors often disperse if the parameters are not properly selected when the gradient descent algorithm is used. This paper describes a new algorithm for training an RB: network. In function approximation, this algorithm has two main advantages: high accuracy and stable learning process In addition, it can be used as a good classifier in pattern recoginition.
