Combining regression trees and radial basis function networks.
We describe a method for non-parametric regression which combines regression trees with radial basis function networks. The method is similar to that of Kubat, who was first to suggest such a combination, but has some significant improvements. We demonstrate the features of the new method, compare its performance with other methods on DELVE data sets and apply it to a real world problem involving the classification of soybean plants from digital images.
