java.lang.Object

org.encog.neural.neat.NEATUtil

public class NEATUtil
extends java.lang.Object

NEAT does not make use of a special trainer. Typically the generic TrainEA trainer is used. This utility class creates a NEAT compatible TrainEA class. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.
