Backpropagation: This class implements a backpropagation training algorithm for feed forward neural networks. It is used in the same manner as any other training class that implements the Train interface. Backpropagation is a common neural network training algorithm. It works by analyzing the error of the output of the neural network. Each neuron in the output layer's contribution, according to weight, to this error is determined. These weights are then adjusted to minimize this error. This process continues working its way backwards through the layers of the neural network. This implementation of the backpropagation algorithm uses both momentum and a learning rate. The learning rate specifies the degree to which the weight matrixes will be modified through each iteration. The momentum specifies how much the previous learning iteration affects the current. To use no momentum at all specify zero.

BackpropagationLayer: The back propagation training algorithm requires training data to be stored for each of the layers. The Backpropagation class creates a BackpropagationLayer object for each of the layers in the neural network that it is training.
