Feed-forward back-propagation and radial basis ANN are the most often used applications in this regard. They have been utilized to solve a number of real problems, although they gained a wide use, however the challenge remains to select the best of them in term of accuracy and efficiency performance. This paper presents a comparison between feed-forward back-propagation and radial basis ANN base on their performance. The comparison is performed using a Monte Carlo study that involves the following problems: addition, multiplication, division, powers and a production function. The result indicates that the proposed radial basis ANN results are significantly better than proposed feed-forward back-propagation ANN results for all five problems. {\^A}{\copyright} 2010 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-78049371848&doi=10.1109\%2fITSIM.2010.5561599&partnerID=40&md5=28c8ebe2539493c5f724a81970f1526f}, isbn = {9781424467181}, author = {Abdalla, O.
