Nonparametric estimation and classification using radial basis function nets and empirical risk minimization

TL;DR: The authors show the optimal nets to be consistent in the problem of nonlinear function approximation and in nonparametric classification in RBF networks and obtain the network parameters through empirical risk minimization.

Radial Basis Function Networks

TL;DR: The RBF network is a universal approximator, and it is a popular alternative to the MLP, since it has a simpler structure and a much faster training process.

Image-based handwritten signature verification using hybrid methods of discrete Radon transform, principal component analysis and probabilistic neural network

TL;DR: The proposed framework aims to distinguish forgeries from genuine signatures based on the image level through hybrid methods of discrete Radon transform (DRT), principal component analysis (PCA) and probabilistic neural network (PNN).

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.
