Recently, we have introduced an unsupervised learning rule, called the Maximum Entropy learning Rule (MER), which performs topographic map formation without using a neighborhood function. In the present paper, MER is extended with a neighborhood function and applied to nonparametric projection pursuit regression. The extended rule, called eMER, alleviates the occurrence of nonfunctional mappings. The performance of our regression procedure is quantified and compared to other neural network-based parametric and nonparametric regression procedures.
