Hello,

You could try the books : (1) Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks,
Cambridge, by Ripley or  (2) Neural networks for Pattern Recognition,
Oxford, by Bishop or (3) Introduction to the Theory of Neural
Computation, Redwood, by Hertz . You will find inside interesting
references. If you just want a paper, try one of the papers of Ripley,
for instance : Statistical aspects of neural networks. In Networks and
Chaos-Statistical and Probabilistic Aspects, eds O.E. Barndorff-Nielsen,
pp 40-123, Chapman & Hall, 1993.

For a toolbox, try the one made at the University of Aston, UK, (I do
not remember the right adress). It is written for matlab 5.

Michel
