Abstract/Summary

Radial basis function networks can be trained quickly using linear optimisation once centres and other associated parameters have been initialised. The authors propose a small adjustment to a well accepted initialisation algorithm which improves the network accuracy over a range of problems. The algorithm is described and results are presented.
