A MATLAB-Based Study on the Realization and Approximation Performance of RBF Neural Networks

Abstract:

BP neural network is a kind of widely used feed-forward network. However its innate shortcomings are gradually giving rise to the study of other networks. Currently one of the research focuses in the area of feed-forward networks is radial basis function neural network. To test the radial basis function neural network for nonlinear function approximation capability, this paper first introduces the theories of RBF networks, as well as the structure, function approximation and learning algorithm of radial basis function neural network. Then a simulation test is carried out to compare BPNN and RBFNN. The simulation results indicate that RBFNN is simpler in structure, faster in speed and better in approximation performance. That is to say RBFNN is superior to BPNN in many aspects. But when solving the same problem, the structure of radial basis networks is more complicated than that of BP neural networks.

Design of RBF Neural Networks Based on Adjustable Radius

Authors: Xiao Yong Liu

Abstract: In this paper, a new RBF neural network (RBFNN) algorithm, called ar-RBFNN, is presented. In traditional RBFNNs based on clustering algorithm, called oRBFNN in this paper, the width of the basis function-Gaussian function, or called radius, ignored the effect of numbers in different clusters, or density of data points. New algorithm considers radius is effect to performance of algorithms in problem of function approximation. Mean Square Error is used to evaluate performances of two algorithms, oRBFNN and ar-RBFNN algorithms. Several experiments in function approximation show ar-RBFNN is better than oRBFNN.

Positive Approximation for Positive Scattered Data

Authors: Xiao Lei Zhang, Jin Ming Wu

Abstract: The curve and surface fitting problem is very important in CAD and CAGD. However, it is important to construct a suitable function to interpolate or approximate which satisfies the underlying constraints since we have some additional information that is confined to interpolation or approximation. In this paper, we discuss the positive approximation for positive scattered data of any dimensionality by using radial basis functions. The approach is presented to compute positive approximation by solving a quadratic optimization problem. Numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the proposed algorithm is flexible.

Abstract: A framework for optimization of process parameters in material processing and production is described. The framework is designed for effective set up and solution of optimization problems as part of process design, as well as to support development of numerical models by inverse identification of model parameters. The general framework is outlined, which has been supplemented by a neural networks module in order to enable real time decision support. Simulator based on meshless method with radial basis functions (RBF) has been utilized.

Application of a Nonlinear Data-Driven Model to Rapid Design of Disc-Spring Valve Systems

Authors: Piotr Czop, Damian Slawik, Grzegorz Wszołek, Dawid Jakubowski, Antoni Skrobol

Abstract: This paper proposes an analytical tool that supports the design process of a disc spring valve system used in car dampers. The proposed analytical tool obtains a key design characteristic of a valve, which is the flow rate and the corresponding maximum stress level in the stack of plates, as a function of a pressure load. The tool is prepared based on the cases produced by a first-principle model using a finite element approach. The finite element model was calibrated based on experimental results to provide accurate results in the entire range of input parameters.

Analysis of Hydrological Data Based on BP Neural Network Approximation and Polynomial Fitting

Authors: Shou Jun Li, Xiao Ping Ma, Hong Yu

Abstract: It is an important means of hydrological data analysis for drawing hydrological data curve. The paper conducts a study on drawing method of stage-discharge curve in two aspects including BP neural network approximation and curve fitting, according to data extracted from a hydrologic station located in Suqian section of Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Normalization of the input sample is processed in order to caculate conveniently and prevent partial neurons to supersaturate. Then, neuronal number is determined by method of heuristics. And the transfer function and training function are finalized on the premise of target error 0.0001.Error analysis is performed after simulation of BP network approximation. 2- and 3-order curve fitting is done based on principle of least squares of polynomial fitting, then followed by error analysis. Comparison of both methods comes to the conclusion that approximation of BP network for a given data is more accurate than that of curve fitting.
