Interval probabilistic neural network

Abstract

Automated classification systems have allowed for the rapid development of exploratory data analysis. Such systems increase the independence of human intervention in obtaining the analysis results, especially when inaccurate information is under consideration. The aim of this paper is to present a novel approach, a neural networking, for use in classifying interval information. As presented, neural methodology is a generalization of probabilistic neural network for interval data processing. The simple structure of this neural classification algorithm makes it applicable for research purposes. The procedure is based on the Bayes approach, ensuring minimal potential losses with regard to that which comes about through classification errors. In this article, the topological structure of the network and the learning process are described in detail. Of note, the correctness of the procedure proposed here has been verified by way of numerical tests. These tests include examples of both synthetic data, as well as benchmark instances. The results of numerical verification, carried out for different shapes of data sets, as well as a comparative analysis with other methods of similar conditioning, have validated both the concept presented here and its positive features.

“…Further research will be related to the search for better neural models with non-linear transfer functions [18]- [20]. These studies will also include considerations regarding the significance of particular elements of the feature vector in the prediction issue [21], [22], but also a search for other coveted features that could have a beneficial effect on the quality of prediction of dust-type air pollution [23].…”

K- Means Based Probabilistic Neural Network (KPNN) For Designing Physical Machine – Classifier

“…PNN model is more advantageous because it uses an activation function derived from statistics as well as it has strong fault tolerance and can be implemented in hardware. [15][16][17] In the following sections, the concept and architecture of the Probabilistic Neural Network will be discussed. Its application to a real-time problem and the capability of results is also verified.…”

“…Moreover, EA for the Fuzzy Flip-Flop Neural Network [6] is adaptable as a more advanced classifier. The notion of classification has been extended to interval data processing [14], and a new type of ANN, called "Interval Probabilistic Neural Network" introduced in [8]. Additionally, as demonstrated in [5,11], reducing pattern data, with regards to the classification task involving interval type data is also feasible.…”
