Classification of incomplete feature vectors by radial basis function networks

The paper describes the use of radial basis function neural networks with Gaussian basis functions to classify incomplete feature vectors. The method uses the fact that any marginal distribution of a Gaussian distribution can be determined from the mean vector and covariance matrix of the joint distribution.
