“…The information granule-oriented radial basis function neural network 3.1. General topology of the RBF neural network RBF neural networks (Vong et al, 2006;Zhai and Yu, 2009;Park et al, 2008;Gudur and Dixit, 2008;Matuško et al, 2008;Peng et al, 2007;Barletta et al, 2007;Frias-Martinez et al, 2006;Langoni et al, 2006) have been traditionally associated with a simple architecture of a three-layer neural network, in which an n-dimensional input vector x¼ [x 1 , x 2 , ..., x n ] T is transformed in a nonlinear fashion through the receptive fields (basis functions). Subsequently, the resulting activation levels are transformed in a linear way by a single neuron located at the output layer.…”
