  • Abstract
    In this work, two modifications on Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm for feedforward neural networks are studied. One modification is made on performance index, while the other one is on calculating gradient information. The modified algorithm gives a better convergence rate compared to the standard LM method and is less computationally intensive and requires less memory. The performance of the algorithm has been checked on several example problems
