A New Training Algorithm for RBF Neural Network based on Dynamic Fuzzy Clustering

A new algorithm for training radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is presented in this paper. This algorithm is based on the dynamic fuzzy clustering method (DFCM). The algorithm has a number of advantages compared to the traditional method based on k-means. For example, it does not need to know the number of the hidden nodes and to predicts more accurately. Due to these advantages, this method proves to be suitable for developing models for complex nonlinear systems.
