Class LogisticNeuron

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

GaugeSource

public class LogisticNeuron
extends Neuron

LogisticNeuron.

Field Summary

Fields inherited from class org.simnet.interfaces.Neuron

activation, fanIn, fanOut, lowerBound, upperBound

Constructor Summary

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

LogisticNeuron(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()
double	getGrowthRate()
static String	getName()
int	getTimeType()
void	setGrowthRate(double growthRate)
void	update() TODO: Note that the inputs have to be within the neuron's bounds for behavior to be reasonable.
