dc.description.abstract | <p>When statistical data are used in supervised training of a neural network employing the back propagation least mean square algorithm, the behavior of the classification boundary during training is often unpredictable. This research suggests the application of monotonicity constraints to the back propagation learning algorithm. When the training sample set is pre-processed by a linear classification function, this can improve neural network performance and efficiency in classification applications where the feature vector is related monotonically to the pattern vector. This technique can be applied to any classification problem which possesses monotonicity properties, such as managerial pattern recognition problems and others.</p> | en_US |
