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.

We review characterizations of (conditional) positive definiteness and show how they apply to the theory of radial basis functions. We then give complete proofs for the (conditional) positive definiteness of all practically relevant basis functions. Furthermore, we show how some of these characterizations may lead to construction tools for positive definite functions. Finally, we give new const...

We present techniques for modeling Variational Hermite Radial Basis Function (VHRBF) Implicits using a set of sketch-based interface and modeling (SBIM) operators. VHRBF Implicits is a simple and compact representation well suited for SBIM. It provides quality reconstructions, preserving the intended shape from a coarse and nonuniform number of point-normal samples extracted directly from the i...

Drawing upon tourism contribution, tourists’ visitations are the backbone of country’s economic growth and development. This study thus aims to test a structural model for examining relationship between affection, cultural perceptions, their revisit, recommendation intentions through mediating role past travel experience. To our hypotheses, 547 questionnaires from Thai tourists were analyzed us...
