In this paper, a novel hybrid Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBF–NN) ensemble model is proposed for rainfall forecasting based on Kernel Partial Least Squares Regression (K–PLSR). In the process of ensemble modeling, the first stage the initial data set is divided into different training sets by used Bagging and Boosting technology. In the second stage, these training sets are input to t...

Based on the radial basis functions (RBF) and T-Trefftz solution, this paper presents a new meshless method for numerically solving various partial differential equation systems. First, the analog equation method (AEM) is used to convert the original patial differential equation to an equivalent Poisson’s equation. Then, the radial basis functions (RBF) are employed to approxiamate the inhomoge...

| Although our previous model CLARION has shown some measure of success in reactive sequential decision making tasks by utilizing a hybrid architecture which uses both procedural and declarative learning, it suuers from a number of problems because of its use of back propagation networks. CLARION-RBF is a more parsimonious architecture that remedies some of the problems exhibited in CLARION by ...

The method presented here is aimed to a direct fast setting of the parameters of a RBF network for function approximation. It is based on a hierarchical gridding of the input space; additional layers of Gaussians at lower scales are added where the residual error is higher. The number of the Gaussians of each layer and their variance are computed from considerations grounded in the linear filte...

In this paper, we proposed a method to design a model-following adaptive controller for linear/nonlinear plants. Radial basis function neural networks (RBF-NNs), which are known for their stable learning capability and fast training, are used to identify linear/nonlinear plants. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective in controlling both linear and nonlinear plants with di...

This paper proposes a new face recognition approach by using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Hierarchical Radial Basis Function Network (HRBF) classification model. The DCT is employed to extract the input features to build a face recognition system, and the HRBF is used to identify the faces. Based on the pre-defined instruction/operator sets, a HRBF model can be created and evolved. T...

this paper extends the sequential learning algorithm strategy of two different types of adaptive radial basis function-based (rbf) neural networks, i.e. growing and pruning radial basis function (gap-rbf) and minimal resource allocation network (mran) to cater for on-line identification of non-linear systems. the original sequential learning algorithm is based on the repetitive utilization of s...

The purpose of this study is to identify the hierarchical radial basis function neural networks and select important input features for each sub-RBF neural network automatically. Based on the pre-defined instruction/operator sets, a hierarchical RBF neural network is created and evolved by using Extended Compact Genetic Programming (ECGP), and the parameters are optimized by Differential Evolut...

We present a new high-order, local meshfree method for numerically solving reaction 5 diffusion equations on smooth surfaces of co-dimension one embedded in Rd. The novelty of the 6 method is in the approximation of the Laplace-Beltrami operator for a given surface using Hermite 7 radial basis function (RBF) interpolation over local node sets on the surface. This leads to compact 8 (or implicit...
