More specifically, we develop a novel wavelet dispersion measure that measures obtained ranks of wavelet coefficients. Our dispersion measure in conjunction with a probabilistic radial basis neural network trained by only three independent example sets obtains a success rate of approximately 78% in identifying unknown complex classical music movements.} }
