Abstract

A recently introduced rule for equiprobable topographicmap formation, called the Vectorial Boundary Adaptation Rule (VBAR), isextended and applied to nonparametric projection pursuit regression. Theperformance of the regression procedure is compared to that of anumber of other nonparametric regression procedures. The procedure isapplied to positron emission tomography (PET) images for adaptivefiltering and data compression purposes.
