Abstract

In this paper, mixture of experts model is first applied to stellar data classification. In order to obtain input patterns of mixture of experts model, we present a feature extraction method for stellar data based on wavelet packet transformation. Then a mixture of experts model is built for classifying the feature vectors. A comparative study of different classification methods such as a single radial basis function neural network is given. Real world data experimental results show that the mixture of experts has a good generalization ability and the obtained correct classification rate is higher than that of using a single neural network.
