Class FeedForwardPattern

java.lang.Object
  org.encog.neural.pattern.FeedForwardPattern

All Implemented Interfaces:

NeuralNetworkPattern

public class FeedForwardPattern
extends Object
implements NeuralNetworkPattern

Used to create feedforward neural networks. A feedforward network has an input and output layers separated by zero or more hidden layers. The feedforward neural network is one of the most common neural network patterns.
