Abstract

In this paper, an objective function for training a radial basis function (RBF) network to handle single node open fault is presented. Based on the definition of this objective function, we propose a training method in which the computational complexity is the same as that of the least mean squares (LMS) method. Simulation results indicate that our method could greatly improve the fault tolerance of RBF networks, as compared with the one trained by LMS method. Moreover, even if the tuning parameter is misspecified, the performance deviation is not significant.
