A heuristic processor incorporates a digital arithmetic unit arranged to compute the squared norm of each member of a training data set with respect to each member of a set of centers, and to transform the squared norms in accordance with a nonlinear function to produce training vectors. A systolic array arranged for QR decomposition and least mean squares processing forms combinations of the elements of each vector to provide a fit to corresponding training answers. The form of combination is then employed with like-transformed to provide estimates of unknown result. The processor is applicable to provide estimated results for problems which are nonlinear and for which explicit mathematical formalisms are unknown.
