Sums of radial basis functions are typically used to [[function approximation|approximate given functions]]. This approximation process can also be interpreted as a simple kind of [[artificial neural network|neural network]]; this was the context in which they were originally applied to machine learning, in work by [[David Broomhead]] and David Lowe in 1988,<ref>[http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/rbf/intro/node8.html Radial Basis Function networks] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140423232029/http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/rbf/intro/node8.html |date=2014-04-23 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |first1 = David H. |last1 = Broomhead |first2 = David |last2 = Lowe |title = Multivariable Functional Interpolation and Adaptive Networks |journal = Complex Systems |volume = 2 |pages = 321–355 |year = 1988 |url = https://www.complex-systems.com/pdf/02-3-5.pdf |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140714173428/https://www.complex-systems.com/pdf/02-3-5.pdf |archive-date = 2014-07-14}}</ref> which stemmed from [[Michael J.
