In the first step, the center vectors <math>\mathbf c_i</math> of the RBF functions in the hidden layer are chosen. This step can be performed in several ways; centers can be randomly sampled from some set of examples, or they can be determined using [[k-means clustering]]. Note that this step is [[unsupervised learning|unsupervised]].
 
Another approach takes into account the difference between the input vector and the network output. This is an example of [[supervised learning]] in the initialization phase. <ref name="Franco">{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1109/TLA.2017.7932707 | title = New Strategies for Initialization and Training of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks | year = 2017 | last1 = Franco | first1 = D.

The second step simply fits a linear model with coefficients <math>w_i</math> to the hidden layer's outputs with respect to some objective function. A common objective function, at least for regression/function estimation, is the least squares function:
