The neural networks we have developed simplify structure determination and improve learning ability by applying stochastic/statistical theory to determine the structure of the networks. Uniquely constructed neural networks include the Log-linearized Gaussian Mixture Network (LLGMN) and the Recurrent-LLGMN (R-LLGMN). LLGMN corresponds to a mixed normal distribution, which is a statistical model, and R-LLGMN corresponds to the introduction of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) that effectively models time series signals. The Reduced-Dimension-LLGMN (RD-LLGMN) extracts and classifies the principal components from multivariate data, whereas the Hierarchical-LLGMN (H-LLGMN) constructs a hierarchical system of LLGMNs for efficient modeling. LLGMN is suitable for modeling steady-state patterns with little time variation, and R-LLGMN is suitable for modeling nonstationary patterns that change dynamically over time.
