TLDR
The adaptive rational function filter is proposed, a new nonlinear adaptive filter structure based on rational functions that is suitable for real-time adaptive signal processing and has a best approximation for a specified function.
Abstract
Proposes a new nonlinear adaptive filter structure based on rational functions. There are several advantages to the use of this filter. First, it is a universal approximator and a good extrapolator. Second, it ran be trained by a linear adaptive algorithm, which makes it suitable for real-time adaptive signal processing. Third, it has a best approximation for a specified function. To demonstrate its utility as a tool for solving adaptive signal processing problems, the authors apply the adaptive rational function filter to the problem of estimation and detection. The estimation problem pertains to the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem in array signal processing. For the detection problem, the authors consider the detection of a weak radar target (a small piece of ice) in an ocean environment. >

Prediction of noisy chaotic time series using an optimal radial basis function neural network

TL;DR: This paper considers the problem of optimum prediction of noisy chaotic time series using a basis function neural network, in particular, the radial basis function (RBF) network and proposes a new technique called the cross-validated subspace method to estimate the optimum number of hidden units.

Detection of small objects in clutter using a GA-RBF neural network

TL;DR: It is shown here that if the functional form of an unknown nonlinear dynamical system can be represented exactly using an RBF net, this GA-RBF approach can reconstruct the exact dynamic from its time series measurements.

Networks and the Best Approximation Property

TL;DR: The main result of this paper is that multilayer perceptron networks, of the type used in backpropagation, do not have the best approximation property and it is proved that networks derived from regularization theory and including Radial Basis Functions, have a similar property.
