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:

    “As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
