Evolutionary Bayesian Probabilistic Neural Networks

چکیده
A well-known and widely used model for classification and prediction is the Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN). PNN’s performance is influenced by the kernels’ spread parameters so recently several approaches have been proposed to tackle this problem. The proposed approach is a combination of two well known methods applied to PNNs. First, it incorporates a Bayesian model for the estimation of PNN’s spread parameters and then an evolutionary optimization algorithm is used for the proper weighting of PNN’s outputs. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used for a better estimation of PNN’s prior probabilities. The new model is called Evolutionary Bayesian Probabilistic Neural Network (EBPNN). Furthermore, a different kernel function, namely the Epanechnikov kernel, is used besides the typical Gaussian kernel. The above approach is applied to two biomedical applications with encouraging results and is compared with Feed-Forward Neural Networks.

Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
