Bilinear Gaussian Radial Basis Function Networks for classification of repeated measurements

The Growth Curve Model is a bilinear statistical model which can be used to analyse several groups of repeated measurements. Normally the Growth Curve Model is defined in such a way that the permitted sampling frequency of the repeated measurement is limited by the number of observed individuals in the data set.In this thesis, we examine the possibilities of utilizing highly frequently sampled measurements to increase classification accuracy for real world data. That is, we look at the case where the regular Growth Curve Model is not defined due to the relationship between the sampling frequency and the number of observed individuals. When working with this high frequency data, we develop a new method of basis selection for the regression analysis which yields what we call a Bilinear Gaussian Radial Basis Function Network (BGRBFN), which we then compare to more conventional polynomial and trigonometrical functional bases. Finally, we examine if Tikhonov regularization can be used to further increase the classification accuracy in the high frequency data case.Our findings suggest that the BGRBFN performs better than the conventional methods in both classification accuracy and functional approximability. The results also suggest that both high frequency data and furthermore Tikhonov regularization can be used to increase classification accuracy.
