Class FactorNEATGenome

java.lang.Object
  org.encog.neural.neat.FactorNEATGenome

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, GenomeFactory, NEATGenomeFactory

public class FactorNEATGenome
extends Object
implements NEATGenomeFactory, Serializable

This factory is used to create NEATGenomes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.
