It is shown that from a classification tree a class of RBF networks can be derived, whose elements differ in the degree of dependence from the discriminant rules described by the tree. A simulation study based on a two-class problem shows that the proposal represents a valid solution, particularly in presence of noisy variables.}, number={3}, journal={Statistica}, author={Pillati, Marilena}, year={2001}, month={Jan.}, pages={407–421} }
