@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2926, title = {Improving RBF Networks Classification Performance by using K-Harmonic Means}, author = {Z. Zainuddin and W. K. Lye}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this paper, a clustering algorithm named KHarmonic means (KHM) was employed in the training of Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs). KHM organized the data in clusters and determined the centres of the basis function. The popular clustering algorithms, namely K-means (KM) and Fuzzy c-means (FCM), are highly dependent on the initial identification of elements that represent the cluster well. In KHM, the problem can be avoided. This leads to improvement in the classification performance when compared to other clustering algorithms. A comparison of the classification accuracy was performed between KM, FCM and KHM. The classification performance is based on the benchmark data sets: Iris Plant, Diabetes and Breast Cancer. RBFN training with the KHM algorithm shows better accuracy in classification problem.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {2}, year = {2010}, pages = {335 - 339}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2926}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/38}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 38, 2010}, }
