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.

Using radial basis functions to approximate a function and its error bounds

TL;DR: A novel network called the validity index network (VI net), derived from radial basis function networks, fits functions and calculates confidence intervals for its predictions, indicating local regions of poor fit and extrapolation.

Gasoline classification using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy data: Comparison of multivariate techniques

TL;DR: NIR spectroscopy was found to be effective for gasoline classification purposes, when compared with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)Spectroscopy or gas chromatography (GC), and KNN, SVM, and PNN techniques for classification were find to be among the most effective ones.

Invariant character recognition with Zernike and orthogonal Fourier–Mellin moments

TL;DR: A new method of combining Orthogonal Fourier–Mellin moments (OFMMs) with centroid bounding circle scaling is introduced, which is shown to be useful in characterizing images with large variability.

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.
