/**
 * Trains a neural network using a Levenberg Marquardt algorithm (LMA). This
 * training technique is based on the mathematical technique of the same name.
 * 
 * The LMA interpolates between the Gauss-Newton algorithm (GNA) and the 
 * method of gradient descent (similar to what is used by backpropagation. 
 * The lambda parameter determines the degree to which GNA and Gradient 
 * Descent are used.  A lower lambda results in heavier use of GNA, 
 * whereas a higher lambda results in a heavier use of gradient descent.
 * 
 * Each iteration starts with a low lambda that builds if the improvement 
 * to the neural network is not desirable.  At some point the lambda is
 * high enough that the training method reverts totally to gradient descent.
 * 
 * This allows the neural network to be trained effectively in cases where GNA
 * provides the optimal training time, but has the ability to fall back to the
 * more primitive gradient descent method
 *
 * LMA finds only a local minimum, not a global minimum.
