In this dissertation, we consider a methodology for selection of data in models of Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ). The generalization can be improved by using a subgroup selected from the available data set. We search the original distribution to select relevant data that aren't noise. The search aims at relevant points in the training set based on the correlation between the error of each point and the average of error of the remaining data. In general, it is desired to eliminate a considerable part of the noise, keeping the points that are relevant for the learning model. Thus, specifically in LVQ, the method updates the prototypes with a subgroup of the originally available training set. Numerical experiments have been done with simulated and real data. The results were very interesting and clearly indicated the potential of the method.
