Abstract

We present a direct estimation method of the output layer weights in a polynomial extension of the generalized radial-basis-function networks when used in pattern classification problems. The estimation is based on the L2-distance minimization of the density and the population moments. Each synaptic weight in the output layer is derived as a nonlinear function of the training data moments. The experimental results, using one- and two-dimensional simulated data and different polynomial orders, show that the classification rate of the polynomial densities is very close to the optimum rate.
