Abstract

A new approach founded on Radial Basis Functions (RBF) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) is proposed to model non-linear chemical systems. Its performance is demonstrated for two simulated examples and compared with those of Multilayer Feedforward Network (MLP), Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN), and Spline-PLS. Good performance and a guaranteed learning algorithm of the RBF-PLS approach makes it an attractive alternative for the earlier established methods.
