Three Nested Adaptive Loops For every iteration of outer Loop I, there are many iterations of intermediate Loop II. For every iteration of intermediate Loop II, there are many iterations of inner Loop III. Decisions for Loop III Is discrimination acceptable for final classification? Yes: Stop. No: Is discrimination increasing fast enough to continue processing with current candidate feature set? Yes: Continue with Weight Adjustment. No: Go to Loop II. Decisions for Loop II Is progress rate acceptable for trying different frequency feature sets based on the current form of amplitude function, f()? Yes: Continue with frequency feature adjustment. No: Go to Loop I. Decisions for Loop I Is progress rate acceptable with the current method of generating candidate exponential forms of f()? Yes: Continue with adjustment of the amplitude and exponential coefficients of f(). No: Stop and configure another method for generating candidate forms of f().
