Radial Basis Function - RBF Types

RBF Types

Commonly used types of radial basis functions include (writing ):

  • Gaussian:

The first term, that is used for normalisation of the Gaussian, is missing, because in our sum every Gaussian has a weight, so the normalisation is not necessary.

  • Multiquadric:
  • Inverse quadratic:
  • Inverse multiquadric:
  • Polyharmonic spline:
  • Thin plate spline (a special polyharmonic spline):

Famous quotes containing the word types:

    The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
