Abstract

This article presents the Robust Polynomial Neural Networks, a self-organizing multilayered iterative GMDH-type algorithm that provides robust linear and nonlinear polynomial regression models. The accuracy of the algorithm is compared to traditional GMDH and the multiple linear regression analysis using artificial and real data sets in quantitative-structure activity relationship studies. The calculated data shows that the proposed method is able to select nonlinear models characterized by a high prediction ability, it is insensible to outliers and irrelevant variables and thus it provides a considerable interest in quantitative-structure activity relationship studies.
