Techniques for Developing and Applying Polynomial Network Synthesis Software

  • Conference paper
Computing Science and Statistics

Abstract

Polynomial networks have proven to be useful for solving both classification and estimation problems. Object-oriented software design provides the means to implement a variety of network paradigms in a natural and efficient way. This paper describes the use of object-oriented techniques in network synthesis software development, and the design of a polynomial network classifier. Key design issues such as synthesis algorithms, performance criteria, and regression techniques are addressed in this implementation. To demonstrate the applicability of these techniques, prototype classification software has been developed and used in conjunction with a commercial network estimation package to solve a simple engine response problem. We then apply the software, incorporate the solution into a simulation, and assess the quality of the results.
