Performance and accuracy of a neural network are strongly related to its design. Designing a neural network involves topology (number of neurons, number of layers, number of synapses between layers, etc.), training synapse weights, and parameter selection. Radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) could additionally require some other parameters, for example, the means and standard deviations if the activation function of neurons in the hidden layer is a Gaussian function. Commonly, Genetic Algorithms and Evolution Strategies have been used for automatically designing RBFNNs In this work, the use of prototype selection methods for designing a RBFNN is proposed and studied. Experimental results show the viability of designing RBFNNs using prototype selection.
