CPBUM neural networks for modeling with outliers and noise

In this study, CPBUM neural networks with annealing robust learning algorithm ( ARLA) are proposed to improve the problems of conventional neural networks for modeling with outliers and noise. In general, the obtained training data in the real applications maybe contain the outliers and noise. Although the CPBUM neural networks have fast convergent speed, these are difficult to deal with outliers and noise. Hence, the robust property must be enhanced for the CPBUM neural networks. Additionally, the ARLA can be overcome the problems of initialization and cut-off points in the traditional robust learning algorithm and deal with the model with outliers and noise. In this study, the ARLA is used as the learning algorithm to adjust the weights of the CPBUM neural networks. It tunes out that the CPBUM neural networks with the ARLA have fast convergent speed and robust against outliers and noise than the conventional neural networks with robust mechanism. Simulation results are provided to show the validity and applicability of the proposed neural networks. (c) 2006 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
