Correction: In Oct. 2000,
a typo was discovered on page 209 (page 23 of the manuscript), 9th line from
the
bottom
of the page. "d >= 10" printed in the published version should be "d/cos(
beta/4) >= 10" instead. This is an error in a model parameter, and this
error should lead to quantitative (but not much qualitative) changes in model
performance
compared
to those presented in this paper. Also, Delta (theta) in the expression
for W means |Delta (theta)|. The same typo was also in the published version
of
Li Z. 1998 Neural Computation, but is corrected in the version below posted
on this webpage (below). Hence, for all correct parameters of the model, download
