RBF ,LVQ in NN

I made a NN of MLP, which was developed using nprtool of MATLAB.I have the generated matlab code with me, now. it classifies 4 classes.

Now Ii want to implement NN for other types -RBF ,LVQ . what are the changes required?

Hi Yogini,

A RBF neural network consists of a radial basis layer followed by a linear layer. You can assign the "radbas" transfer function to the first hidden layer of the MLP to convert it to a RBF neural network.

Similarly, a LVQ neural network consists of a competitive layer followed by a linear layer. Assigning the "compet" transfer function to the first hidden layer of the MLP converts it to a LVQ neural network.

You can also refer to dedicated functions like lvqnet (or LVQ and newrbe for RBE.

Hope this helps!
