The radial-basis-functions(RBF) technique consists of choosing a function F that has the form
F(x)=Σwiφ(||x-xi||)
where {φ(||x-xi||)|i=1,2,...,N} is a set of N arbitrary (generally nonlinear) functions, known as
radial-basis functions, and ||•|| denotes a norm that is usually Euclidean.
Much of the theory developed on RBF networks builds on the Gaussian function, an important member
of the class of radial-basis functions. The Gaussian function may also be viewed as a kernel--hence the
designation of the two-stage procedure based on the Gaussian function as a kernel method.
