This paper presents a novel technique which may be used to determine an appropriate threshold for interpreting the outputs of a trained Radial Basis Function (RBF) classifier. Results from two experiments demonstrate that this method can be used to improve the performance of RBF classifiers in practical applications.

In this paper we apply normalized radial basis function networks to function learning and in nonparametric classification. A simple parameter learning technique is proposed and convergence and the rates of convergence of the empirically trained networks are studied theoretically and in computer experiments.

Wavelets and radial basis functions (RBF) have ubiquitously proved very successful to solve different forms of partial differential equations (PDE) using shifted basis functions, and as with the other meshless methods, they have been extensively used in scattered data interpolation. The current paper proposes a framework that successfully reconciles RBF and adaptive wavelet method to solve the ...

David B. Kirk'" We have designed, fabricated, and tested an analog VLSI chip which computes radial basis functions in parallel. We have developed a synapse circuit that approximates a quadratic function. We aggregate these circuits to form radial basis functions. These radial basis functions are then averaged together using a follower aggregator.

Regularization with radial basis functions is an effective method in many machine learning applications. In recent years classes of radial basis functions with compact support have been proposed in the approximation theory literature and have become more and more popular due to their computational advantages. In this paper we study the statistical properties of the method of regularization with...
