“…Varied structures of ANNs have been proposed to solve classification problems. They are basically used as supervised learning neural classifiers and unsupervised competitive learning classifiers (Fallahnezhad et al, 2011). In this research the authors have included some of the better known classifiers of ANN: multi-layer perceptron (MLP) (Hornik et al, 1989;Pérez-Miñana and Ross, 1996), radial basis function (RBF) (Park and Sandberg, 1991;Divsalar et al, 2011), support vector machines (SVM) (Vapnik, 1995;Tsai, 2008), recurrent neural networks (RNN) (Mandic and Chambers, 2001;Delgado et al, 2006), Jordan-Elman networks (ELN) (Jordan, 1986) and self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) (Kohonen, 1988;Burn and Home, 2008).…”
