Abstract

In this work we want to analyse the behaviour of two classic Artificial Neural Network models respect to a data complexity measures. In particular, we consider a Radial Basis Function Network and a Multi-Layer Perceptron. We examine the metrics of data complexity known as Measures of Separability of Classes over a wide range of data sets built from real data, and try to extract behaviour patterns from the results. We obtain rules that describe both good or bad behaviours of the Artificial Neural Networks mentioned. With the obtained rules, we try to predict the behaviour of the methods from the data set complexity metrics prior to its application, and therefore establish their domains of competence.
