TLDR
A probabilistic neural network that can compute nonlinear decision boundaries which approach the Bayes optimal is formed, and a fourlayer neural network of the type proposed can map any input pattern to any number of classifications.

Prediction of biological targets using probabilistic neural networks and atom-type descriptors.

TL;DR: Combination of PNN and atom-type descriptors provides a powerful way to predict biological activities from structural information, much more quickly than widely used neural networks such as a feed-forward neural network with error back-propagation.

Effects of strong ground motion on the susceptibility of gully type debris flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors selected three regions which suffered a ground motion class of 5, 6, and 7 on the Richter scale during the Chi-Chi earthquake as study areas to map the gully-type debris flows that took place after Typhoons Herb and Toraji, respectively.

Predictive mapping of seabed cover types using angular response curves of multibeam backscatter data: Testing different feature analysis approaches

TL;DR: In this paper, the angular response curves of multibeam backscatter data are used to predict the distributions of seven seabed cover types in an acoustically-complex area of the continental shelf of Western Australia.

Contributions to Automatic Target Recognition Systems for Underwater Mine Classification

TL;DR: A reasonable construction of the basic belief assignment (BBA) is proposed, which considers both the reliability of the classifiers and the support of individual classifiers provided to the hypotheses about the types of test objects.

Hidden Markov models for cancer classification using gene expression profiles

TL;DR: The proposed combination between the modified AHP and HMM is a powerful tool for cancer classification and useful as a real clinical decision support system for medical practitioners.

Nearest neighbor pattern classification

TL;DR: The nearest neighbor decision rule assigns to an unclassified sample point the classification of the nearest of a set of previously classified points, so it may be said that half the classification information in an infinite sample set is contained in the nearest neighbor.

On Estimation of a Probability Density Function and Mode

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the estimation of a probability density function and of determining the mode of the probability function is discussed. Only estimates which are consistent and asymptotically normal are constructed.
