Democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation in health care systems (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. G. (2002). Democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation in health care systems. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 8(3), 291-297. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2753.2002.00354.x

There is a widespread perception of poor performance and reduced trust in relation to health care systems. The roots of this problem are interpreted in terms of the democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation. The democratic deficit is chara...

Spectrum-based design of sinusoidal RBF neural networks (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
András, P. (2002, May). Spectrum-based design of sinusoidal RBF neural networks. Presented at 2002 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Honolulu, HI, USA

This paper introduces and describes the spectrum-based design of radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. The RBF networks used in this paper work with damped sinusoidal nonlinear activation functions. The concept of the associated data spectrum...

Kernel-kohonen networks (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2002). Kernel-kohonen networks. International Journal of Neural Systems, 12(2), 117-135. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0129065702001084

We investigate the combination of the Kohonen networks with the kernel methods in the context of classification. We use the idea of kernel functions to handle products of vectors of arbitrary dimension. We indicate how to build Kohonen networks with... Read More about Kernel-kohonen networks.

The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2002). The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks. Neural Processing Letters, 15, 97-104. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1015292818897

We show in this brief paper the equivalence of the support vector machine and regularization neural networks. We prove both implication sides of the equivalence in a generally applicable way. The novelty lies in the effective construction of the regu... Read More about The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks.

Toward statistically valid population decoding models (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P., Panzeri, S., & Young, M. P. (2002). Toward statistically valid population decoding models. Neurocomputing, 44, 269-274. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0925-2312%2802%2900349-1

8We focus in this paper on the methodology of building statistically valid population code read-out models for spike train data. A new method is explored, which uses Bayesian networks to formalize the read-out model, Monte Carlo validation to check t... Read More about Toward statistically valid population decoding models.

Computation with chaotic patterns (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2002). Computation with chaotic patterns. Neurocomputing, 44-46, 263-268. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0925-2312%2802%2900347-8

The paper is focused on how chaotic patterns, occurring in nature, might be used by biological organisms to perform computations. This issue is investigated in the context of neural systems. As a simple model of chaotic patterns, the world of Sierpin... Read More about Computation with chaotic patterns.

Firing Rate Modulation by Backward Propagating Potential Waves (2002)
Preprint / Working Paper
András, P. Firing Rate Modulation by Backward Propagating Potential Waves

The paper investigates the role of backward propagating potential waves in the regulation of the firing rate input ‐ output transformation function of neurons. The analysis is performed using a simple one dimensional neuron model that allows backward... Read More about Firing Rate Modulation by Backward Propagating Potential Waves.
