Short Description

Neural networks have the ability to deal with a variety of different inputs and to "learn" as these inputs or their environment change. They are used in a broad range of control and decision-making applications in engineering, manufacturing, and finance. Neural networks are employed in many areas of computing and machine intelligence, including robotics, process control, and decision-making. This book describes the theoretical underpinnings of the subject in detail, and illustrates the theory with practical examples.

Further versions

Provides comprehensive treatment of the theory of both static and dynamic neural networks.
* Theoretical concepts are illustrated by reference to practical examples Includes end-of-chapter exercises and end-of-chapter exercises.
