public class BasicPNN
extends AbstractPNN
implements MLRegression

This class implements either a: Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) To use a PNN specify an output mode of classification, to make use of a GRNN specify either an output mode of regression or un-supervised autoassociation. The PNN/GRNN networks are potentially very useful. They share some similarities with RBF-neural networks and also the Support Vector Machine (SVM). These network types directly support the use of classification. The following book was very helpful in implementing PNN/GRNN's in Encog.
