Class NEATBaseGene

java.lang.Object

org.encog.neural.neat.training.NEATBaseGene

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<NEATBaseGene>

Direct Known Subclasses:

NEATLinkGene, NEATNeuronGene

public class NEATBaseGene
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<NEATBaseGene>, java.io.Serializable

Defines a base class for NEAT genes. A neat gene holds instructions on how to create either a neuron or a link. The NEATLinkGene and NEATLinkNeuron classes extend NEATBaseGene to provide this specific functionality. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.
