Matlab and RBF

The document describes the structure and computation of a radial basis function (RBF) neural network. It provides an example network with two centers, a Gaussian transfer function, weights of [1, 2], and a bias of -1. It then shows how to: 1) Extract the relevant parameters like centers, weights, and biases from a trained RBF network in Matlab. 2) Compute the network output "by hand" on new data by calculating the distances to centers, applying the transfer function and scaling, and performing the weighted sum and bias operations. 3) Verify the manual computation matches the output from simulating the trained network on the same new data.

An RBF to try by hand

Homework for Friday Suppose our model function maps IR3 to IR, and suppose we have two centers: [1, 0, 1]T , [1, 1, 0]T . Given the transfer function (r) = r3 , and a set of weights [1, 2] and a bias (constant) of 1, use a calculator to compute the output of the RBF given the point [1, 1, 2]T (You may use Matlab as your calculator, but be sure you can perform the necessary operations).

Matlab and the RBF


Here is a quick example. Matlab likes to use P, T for patterns and targets- For us, these were X and Y , respectively. P=linspace(-2,2,50); T=sin(3*P)+0.2*randn(size(P)); eg=0.05; %eg is error goal sc=1; %sc is scaling for the RBF net=newrb(P,T,eg,sc);

Network Structure for the RBF


The transfer function is the Gaussian (well need to discuss the actual width used). The matrix of centers is located in: C=net.IW{1,1} (note the curly braces). In this example, the matrix had dimensions 6 1 (thats 6 centers with dimension 1). We The scaling of the Gaussian is contained in the vector b1 =net.b{1} In this example, the vector is 6 1. There is also a constant vector b2=net.b{2} In this example, this vector is a scalar. If we track the sequence of steps we perform to transform a set of vectors in the domain, x, into the function output, % Here is some data: P=linspace(-2,2,50); T=sin(3*P)+0.2*randn(size(P)); %Train the RBF net=newrb(P,T,0.05,1);

xx=linspace(-2,2); NumPts=length(xx);

%New data in the domain %Used below in computing A1

%Here are the relevent parameters from the network structure. Centers=net.IW{1,1}; W=net.LW{2,1}; b1=net.b{1}; %Numcenters x 1- This is the scaling factor for the Gaussian b2=net.b{2}; %Bias term (See below) %Now compute the network output "by hand": A=edm(xx,Centers); A1=A.*repmat(b1,NumPts,1); %Multiply by the scaling factor before computing phi Phi=rbf1(A1,1,1); Yout=W*Phi+b2; %Get the output using Matlabs built in routine Yout2=sim(net,xx); % You should see Yout=Yout2: plot(P,T,k*,xx,Yout,xx,Yout2);
