Detailed Description

This macro shows the use of an ANN for regression analysis: given a set {i} of input vectors i and a set {o} of output vectors o, one looks for the unknown function f(i)=o.

The ANN can approximate this function; TMLPAnalyzer::DrawTruthDeviation methods can be used to evaluate the quality of the approximation.

For simplicity, we use a known function to create test and training data. In reality this function is usually not known, and the data comes e.g. from measurements.

 
Network with structure: x,y:10:8:f
inputs with low values in the differences plot may not be needed
x -> 0.0837213 +/- 0.0429966
y -> 0.0818201 +/- 0.039177

 
Double_t theUnknownFunction(Double_t x, Double_t y) {
   return sin((1.7+x)*(x-0.3)-2.3*(y+0.7));
}

   // we have two input parameters x and y,
   // and one output value f(x,y)

      Float_t y=r.Rndm();
      // fill it with x, y, and f(x,y) - usually this function
      // is not known, and the value of f given an x and a y comes
      // e.g. from measurements
      t->Fill(x,y,theUnknownFunction(x,y));
