title: A new clustering technique for function approximation.
abstract: To date, clustering techniques have always been oriented to solve classification and pattern recognition problems. However, some authors have applied them unchanged to construct initial models for function approximators. Nevertheless, classification and function approximation problems present quite different objectives. Therefore it is necessary to design new clustering algorithms specialized in the problem of function approximation. This paper presents a new clustering technique, specially designed for function. approximation problems, which improves the performance of the approximator system obtained, compared with other models derived from traditional classification oriented clustering algorithms and input-output clustering techniques.
