All Implemented Interfaces:

GaugeSource

public class BinaryNeuron
extends Neuron

BinaryNeuron type to be used in creating different types of networks.

Field Summary

Fields inherited from class org.simnet.interfaces.Neuron

activation, fanIn, fanOut, lowerBound, upperBound

Constructor Summary

BinaryNeuron()
Default constructor needed for external calls which create neurons then set their parameters.

BinaryNeuron(Neuron n)
This constructor is used when creating a neuron of one type from another neuron of another type Only values common to different types of neuron are copied.

double	getBias()
static String	getName()
double	getThreshold()
int	getTimeType()
void	setBias(double bias)
void	setThreshold(double threshold)
void	update() Updates the neurons as inputs change.
