 * Weight decay adds a penalty term to the error function. The penalty term 
 * penalizes large weights. The weight decay penalty term causes the weights to 
 * converge to smaller absolute values than they otherwise would. Smaller weights
 * are expected to improve generalization.
 *
 * The update formula is changed in:
 * Dw(t+1) = dw(t+1) - d x w(t)
 * 
 * d is a weight decay value.
