/**
 * This class is used to generate an Jordan style recurrent neural network. This
 * network type consists of three regular layers, an input output and hidden
 * layer. There is also a context layer which accepts output from the output
 * layer and outputs back to the hidden layer. This makes it a recurrent neural
 * network.
 * 
 * The Jordan neural network is useful for temporal input data. The specified
 * activation function will be used on all layers. The Jordan neural network is
 * similar to the Elman neural network.
