This paper discusses an alternative approach to parameter optimization of well-known prototype-based learning algorithms (minimizing an objective function via gradient search). The proposed approach considers a stochastic optimization called the cross entropy method (CE method). The CE method is use
## Abstract Feedβforward neural networks have been used for pattern recognition, because they have an ability to estimate __a posteriori__ probability. This paper investigates the ability to estimate the __a posteriori__ probability by using oneβdimensional Gaussian distributions, uniform distribut
