Abstract

This study intends to enhance the learning of radial basis function network (RBFN) for function approximation using self-organizing map network (SOMN) with artificial immune system (AIS)-based algorithm (AIA) and genetic algorithm (GA) methods (i.e., IG approach). The proposed combined of SOMN with IG approach (called: SIG) algorithm integrates the auto-clustering ability of SOMN and nature-inspired approach. The simulation results revealed that SOMN, AIA and GA methods can be integrated ingeniously and proposed a hybrid SIG algorithm which aims for obtaining a more accurate learning performance. Next, method evaluation results for two benchmark problems and demand prediction exercise showed that the SIG algorithm outperforms other algorithms and the Box-Jenkins models in accuracy.
