Abstract

It is not known to decide a proper sample size for data mining tasks, so the task of deciding proper sample sizes for RBF neural networks that are one of the important data mining algorithms tend to be arbitrary. In RBF networks as the size of samples grows, the improvement in error rate becomes better slowly. But we cannot use larger and larger samples, because there are some fluctuations in accuracy as the sample size grows. This paper suggests an objective approach in determining proper samples to find good RBF networks with respect to accuracy. Experiments with two relatively large data sets showed very promising results.
