We propose a test for ARCH that uses a radial basis function artificial neural network. It outperforms alternative neural network tests in a variety of Monte Carlo experiments.  2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Face is an important biometric feature for personal identification. This paper describes a new face verification methods based on singular value decomposition and RBF neural networks. The proposed method utilizes the positive samples and negative samples learning ability of RBF neural networks to improve singular values based face verification. Experiment results show that the novel face verifi...

In this paper, we investigated an ensemble neural network for the prediction of oil prices. Daily data from 1999 to 2012 were used to predict the West Taxes, Intermediate. Data were separated into four phases of training and testing using different percentages and obtained seven sub-datasets after implementing different attribute selection algorithms. We used three types of neural networks: Fee...

Intelligent systems are yielded from integration of a logic programming and connectionist systems. Radial basis function neural network is a commonly-used type of feedforward networks. In this paper, we proposed a method for connectionist model generation using Radial Basis Function neural network to encode higher order logic programming. We encode each clause from the clauses of a logic progra...

The k-means training algorithm used for the RBF (Radial Basis Function) neural network can have some weakness like empty clusters, the choice of the cluster number and the random choice of the centers of theses clusters. In this paper, we use the Fuzzy Min Max technique to boost the performances of the training algorithm. This technique is used to determine the number of the k centers and to in...

this paper presents the application of three main artificial neural networks (anns) in damage detection of steel bridges. this method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. the changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. to circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear n...

This paper shows the latest results of the EvRBF algorithm applied to classification problems. EvRBF is an evolutionary algorithm intended to automatically design Radial Basis Functions Neural Networks (RBFNN), being its main advantage that establishes the whole set of parameters of the nets. Key–Words: Radial basis function neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, evolutionary operators,EvRBF...
