Class ATanErrorFunction

java.lang.Object

org.encog.neural.error.ATanErrorFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

ErrorFunction

public class ATanErrorFunction
extends java.lang.Object
implements ErrorFunction

An ATan based error function. This is often used either with QuickProp or alone. This can improve the training time of a propagation trained neural network.

Calculate the error.

Specified by:

calculateError in interface ErrorFunction

Parameters:

af - The activation function used at the output layer.

b - The number to calculate the derivative of, the number "before" the activation function was applied.

a - The number "after" an activation function has been applied.

ideal - The ideal values.

actual - The actual values.

error - The resulting error values.

derivShift - The amount to shift af derivativeFunction by

significance - Weighting to apply to ideal[i] - actual[i]
