Abstract
In this paper we show that there are some intriguing links between the Backpropagation and LVQ algorithms. We show that Backpropagation used for training the weights of radial basis function networks exhibits a n increasing competitive nature as the dispersion parameters decrease. In particular, we prove that LVQ can be regarded as a competitive lea rning scheme taking place in radial basis function networks. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
