      org.encog.neural.networks.training.anneal.NeuralSimulatedAnnealing

All Implemented Interfaces:

Train

public class NeuralSimulatedAnnealing
extends BasicTraining

This class implements a simulated annealing training algorithm for feed forward neural networks. It is based on the generic SimulatedAnnealing class. It is used in the same manner as any other training class that implements the Train interface.

Field Summary

static double

CUT The cutoff for random data.
