It has been known that Probabilistic Neural Networks as machine learning is very fast in it’s computation time and give a better accuracy comparing to another type of neural networks, on solving a real-world application problem. In the recent years, Support Vector Machines has become a popular model over other machine learning. It can be analyzed theoretically and can achieve a good performance at same time. This paper will describe the use of those machines learning to solve pattern recognition problems with a preliminary case study in detecting the type of splice site on the DNA sequences, particularity on the accuracy level. The results obtained show that Support Vector Machines have a good accuracy level about 95 % comparing to Probabilistic Neural Networks with 92 % approximately.

The dynamic decay adjustment (DDA) algorithm is a fast constructive algorithm for training RBF neural networks (RBFNs) and probabilistic neural networks (PNNs). The algorithm has two parameters, namely, θ+ and θ-. The papers which introduced DDA argued that those parameters would not heavily influence classification performance and therefore they recommended using always the default values of these parameters. In contrast, this paper shows that smaller values of parameter θ- can, for a considerable number of datasets, result in strong improvement in generalization performance. The experiments described here were carried out using twenty benchmark classification datasets from both Proben1 and the UCI repositories. The results show that for eleven of the datasets, the parameter θ- strongly influenced classification performance. The influence of θ- was also noticeable, although much less, on six of the datasets considered. This paper also compares the performance of RBF-DDA with θ- selection with both AdaBoost and Support Vector Machines (SVMs).
