java.lang.Object
  org.simnet.interfaces.Neuron
      org.simnet.neurons.ExponentialDecayNeuron

All Implemented Interfaces:

GaugeSource

public class ExponentialDecayNeuron
extends Neuron

Expoential decay.

Field Summary

Fields inherited from class org.simnet.interfaces.Neuron

activation, fanIn, fanOut, lowerBound, upperBound

Constructor Summary

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

ExponentialDecayNeuron(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.

Method Summary

Neuron	duplicate() Returns a duplicate ClampedNeuron (used, e.g., in copy/paste).
static String	getName()
double	getTimeConstant()
int	getTimeType() TODO: Not really true...
void	setTimeConstant(double timeConstant) Sets the time constant value.
void	update() Update neuron.
