public class NEATLinkGene
extends BasicGene
implements Serializable

Implements a NEAT link gene. This describes a way in which two neurons are linked. NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) is a genetic algorithm for the generation of evolving artificial neural networks. It was developed by Ken Stanley while at The University of Texas at Austin. http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/
