Class MutateResetLinkWeight

java.lang.Object

org.encog.neural.neat.training.opp.links.MutateResetLinkWeight

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, MutateLinkWeight

public class MutateResetLinkWeight
extends java.lang.Object
implements MutateLinkWeight, java.io.Serializable

Mutate weight links by reseting the weight to an entirely new value. The weight range will come from the trainer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.
