Abstract

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar un tipo de redes neuronales denominadas redes neuronales basadas en unidades producto (RNUP) como un modelo no lineal que puede ser utilizado para la resolución de problemas de clasificación en aprendizaje. Proponemos un método evolutivo en el que simultáneamente se diseña la estructura de la red y se calculan los correspondientes pesos. La metodología que presentamos se basa, por tanto, en la combinación del modelo no lineal RNUP y del algoritmo evolutivo; se aplica a la resolución de un problema de clasificación de índole económica, surgido del mundo de las finanzas. Para evaluar el rendimiento de los modelos de clasificación obtenidos, comparamos nuestra propuesta con varias técnicas clásicas, como la regresión logística o el análisis discriminante, y con el clásico modelo de perceptrón multicapa de redes neuronales basado en unidades sigmoides y el algoritmo de aprendizaje de retropropagación (MLPBP) = The main aim of this work is to show a neural network model called product unit neural network (PUNN), which is a non-linear model to solve classification problems. We propose an evolutionary algorithm to simultaneously design the topology of the network and estimate its corresponding weights. The methodology proposed combines a non-linear model and an evolutionary algorithm and it is applied to solve a real economic problem that occurs in the financial management. To evaluate the performance of the classification models obtained, we compare our approach with several classic statistical techniques such us logistic regression and linear discriminat analysis, and with the multilayer perceptron neural network model based on sigmoidal units trained by means of Back-Propagation algorithm (MLPBP).
