Adaptive Learning of Polynomial Networks: Genetic Programming, Backpropagation and Bayesian Methods (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)

This book delivers theoretical and practical knowledge for developing algorithms that infer linear and non-linear multivariate models, providing a methodology for inductive learning of polynomial neural network models (PNN) from data. The text emphasizes an organized model identification process by which to discover models that generalize and predict well. The book further facilitates the discovery of polynomial models for time-series prediction.

From the reviews:

"This book describes induction of polynomial neural networks from data. ... This book may be used as a textbook for an advanced course on special topics of machine learning." (Jerzy W. Grzymala-Busse, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1119 (21), 2007)
