Abstract

In this paper we consider convergence and rates of convergence of the normalized recursive radial basis function networks in function learning and classification when network parameters are learned by the empirical risk minimization.

Research of the first author was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada under Grant RGPIN-2015-06412.
