Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we propose the use of local sensitivity analysis (LSA) for the structure simplification of the probabilistic neural network (PNN). Three algorithms are introduced. The first algorithm applies LSA to the PNN input layer reduction by selecting significant features of input patterns. The second algorithm utilizes LSA to remove redundant pattern neurons of the network. The third algorithm combines the proposed two and constitutes the solution of how they can work together. PNN with a product kernel estimator is used, where each multiplicand computes a one-dimensional Cauchy function. Therefore, the smoothing parameter is separately calculated for each dimension by means of the plug-in method. The classification qualities of the reduced and full structure PNN are compared. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance of PNN, for which global sensitivity analysis (GSA) and the common reduction methods are applied, both in the input layer and the pattern layer. The models are tested on the classification problems of eight repository data sets. A 10-fold cross validation procedure is used to determine the prediction ability of the networks. Based on the obtained results, it is shown that the LSA can be used as an alternative PNN reduction approach.
