Enum NEATNeuronType

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Enum<NEATNeuronType>
          org.encog.neural.neat.NEATNeuronType

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Comparable<NEATNeuronType>

    public enum NEATNeuronType

extends Enum<NEATNeuronType>

The types of neurons supported by NEAT. 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/

Enum Constant Summary
`Bias` Each NEAT network has one bias neuron.
`Hidden` Hidden neurons are between the input and output.
`Input` Input neurons receive input, they are never altered during evolution.
`None` Not really a neuron type, as you will never see one of these in the network.
`Output` Output neurons provide output, they are never altered during evolution.

Method Summary
`static NEATNeuronType` | `valueOf(String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static NEATNeuronType[]` | `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

### Bias

    public static final NEATNeuronType Bias

  Each NEAT network has one bias neuron.

### Hidden

    public static final NEATNeuronType Hidden

  Hidden neurons are between the input and output.

### Input

    public static final NEATNeuronType Input

  Input neurons receive input, they are never altered during evolution.

### None

    public static final NEATNeuronType None

  Not really a neuron type, as you will never see one of these in the network. However, it is used to mark an innovation as not affecting a neuron type, but rather a link.

### Output

    public static final NEATNeuronType Output

  Output neurons provide output, they are never altered during evolution.

Method Detail

### values

    public static NEATNeuronType[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (NEATNeuronType c : NEATNeuronType.values())
          System.out.println(c);

  Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

    public static NEATNeuronType valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
