*Pakoy* is a fantasy novel that enhances imagination, filled with fun and excitement. I, the author, have just completed writing it in 2024.

This textbook is a consolidation of learning methods which comes in an analytic form. The covered learning methods include classical and advanced solutions to problems of regression, minimum classification error, maximum receiver operating characteristics, bridge regression, ensemble learning and network learning. Both the primal and dual solution forms are discussed for over-and under-determined systems. Such coverage provides an important perspective for handling systems with overwhelmin...

In recent years, ELM has emerged as a revolutionary technique of computational intelligence, and has attracted considerable attentions. An extreme learning machine (ELM) is a single layer feed-forward neural network alike learning system, whose connections from the input layer to the hidden layer are randomly generated, while the connections from the hidden layer to the output layer are learned through linear learning methods. The outstanding merits of extreme learning machine (ELM) are it...
