Class ActivationLinear

java.lang.Object
  org.encog.neural.activation.BasicActivationFunction
      org.encog.neural.activation.ActivationLinear

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, ActivationFunction, EncogPersistedObject

public class ActivationLinear
extends BasicActivationFunction

The Linear layer is really not an activation function at all. The input is simply passed on, unmodified, to the output. This activation function is primarily theoretical and of little actual use. Usually an activation function that scales between 0 and 1 or -1 and 1 should be used.

Constructor Detail

ActivationLinear

public ActivationLinear()

Method Detail

activationFunction

public void activationFunction(double[] d)

Implements the activation function. The array is modified according to the activation function being used. See the class description for more specific information on this type of activation function.

Parameters:

d - The input array to the activation function.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Specified by:

clone in interface EncogPersistedObject

Overrides:

clone in class BasicActivationFunction

Returns:

The object cloned.

createPersistor

public Persistor createPersistor()

Create a Persistor for this activation function.

Specified by:

createPersistor in interface EncogPersistedObject

Overrides:

createPersistor in class BasicActivationFunction

Returns:

The persistor.

derivativeFunction

public void derivativeFunction(double[] d)

Implements the activation function derivative. The array is modified according derivative of the activation function being used. See the class description for more specific information on this type of activation function. Propagation training requires the derivative. Some activation functions do not support a derivative and will throw an error.

Parameters:

d - The input array to the activation function.

hasDerivative

public boolean hasDerivative()

Returns:

Return false, linear has no derivative.
