Abstract

In this paper, an improved training algorithm based on the terminal attractor concept for feedforward neural network learning is proposed. A condition to avoid the singularity problem is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by various simulation results for a function approximation problem and a stock market index prediction problem. It is shown that the terminal attractor based training algorithm performs consistently in comparison with other existing training algorithms.
