In this paper we propose a strategy to shape adaptive radial basis functions through potential functions. DYPOF (DYnamic POtential Functions) neural network (NN) is designed based on radial basis functions (RBF) NN with a two-stage training procedure. Static (fixed number of RBF) and dynamic (ability to add or delete one or more RBF) versions of our learning algorithm are introduced. We investi...

Forecasting exchange rates is an important financial problem that is receiving increasing attention especially because of its difficulty and practical applications. This paper proposes a Hierarchical Radial Basis Function Network (HiRBF) model for forecasting three major international currency exchange rates. Based on the pre-defined instruction sets, HRBF model can be created and evolved. The ...

This paper proposes a neural-network-based method for the computation of the configuration space for robotic manipulators. The configuration space can be obtained by repeatedly computing configuration space patterns for elementary obstacle primitives. For any manipulator, these patterns depend only on the distance between the base of the manipulator and the obstacle primitive. An RBF-network is...

The problem is said to be tractable if there exist constants c, α, β independent of q (but possibly dependent on μ and F) such that En(F , μ) ≤ cqαn−β. We explore different regions (including manifolds), function classes, and measures for which this problem is tractable. Our results include tractability theorems for integration with respect to non-tensor product measures, and over unbounded and...

In this paper, we deal with the problem of function approximation from a given set of input/output data. This problem consists of analyzing these training examples so that we can predict the output of the model given new inputs. We present a new method for function approximation of the I/O data using radial basis functions (RBFs). This approach is based on a new efficient method of clustering o...

This paper presents numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations Poisson’s equation using a combination of logarithmic and multiquadric radial basis function networks. This method uses a special combination between logarithmic and multiquadric radial basis functions with a parameter r. Further, the condition number which arises in the process is discussed, and a comparison is m...

With the aim of classifying sperm whales, this report compares two methods that can use Gaussian functions, a radial basis function network, and support vector machines which were trained with two different approaches known as C-SVM and ν-SVM. The methods were tested on data recordings from seven different male sperm whales, six containing single click trains and the seventh containing a comple...

in this paper we investigate a new notion of bases in hilbert spaces and similarto fusion frame theory we introduce fusion bases theory in hilbert spaces. we also introducea new denition of fusion dual sequence associated with a fusion basis and show that theoperators of a fusion dual sequence are continuous projections. next we dene the fusionbiorthogonal sequence, bessel fusion basis, hilbe...

We extend the nearest prototype classifier to a generalized nearest prototype classifier (GNPC). The GNPC uses "soft" labeling of the prototypes in the classes, thereby encompassing a variety of classifiers. Based on how the prototypes are found we distinguish between presupervised and postsupervised GNPC designs. We derive the conditions for optimality (relative to the standard Bayes error rat...

A radial basis function network (RBFN) method is proposed to reconstruct daily Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) with limited SST samples. For the purpose of evaluating the SSTs using this method, non-biased SST samples in the Pacific Ocean (10°N–30°N, 115°E–135°E) are selected when the tropical storm Hagibis arrived in June 2014, and these SST samples are obtained from the OISST products accordi...
