Intrusion Detection Systems Using Adaptive Regression Splines
  Past few years have witnessed a growing recognition of intelligent techniques
for the construction of efficient and reliable intrusion detection systems. Due
to increasing incidents of cyber attacks, building effective intrusion
detection systems (IDS) are essential for protecting information systems
security, and yet it remains an elusive goal and a great challenge. In this
paper, we report a performance analysis between Multivariate Adaptive
Regression Splines (MARS), neural networks and support vector machines. The
MARS procedure builds flexible regression models by fitting separate splines to
distinct intervals of the predictor variables. A brief comparison of different
neural network learning algorithms is also given.
