class TNeuron: public TNamed


 TNeuron

 This class decribes an elementary neuron, which is the basic
 element for a Neural Network.
 A network is built connecting neurons by synapses.
 There are different types of neurons: linear (a+bx),
 sigmoid (1/(1+exp(-x)), tanh or gaussian.
 An external function can also be used, together with its derivative.
 In a Multi Layer Perceptron, the input layer is made of
 inactive neurons (returning the normalized input) and output neurons
 are linear. Hidden neurons may be anything, the default being sigmoids.

 This implementation contains several methods to compute the value,
 the derivative, the DeDw, ...
 Values are stored in local buffers. The SetNewEvent() method is
 there to inform buffered values are outdated.

Function documentation

TNeuron(TNeuron::ENeuronType type = kSigmoid, const char* name = "", const char* title = "", const char* extF = "", const char* extD = "")
 Usual constructor
Double_t Sigmoid(Double_t x) const
 The Sigmoid.
 Fast computation of the values of the sigmoid function.
 Uses values of the function up  to the seventh order
 tabulated at 700 points.
 Values were computed in long double precision (16 bytes,
 precision to about 37 digits) on a hp computer.
 Some values were checked with Mathematica.
 Result should be correct to ~ 15 digits (about double
 precision)

 From the mlpfit package (J.Schwindling   20-Jul-1999)
Double_t DSigmoid(Double_t x) const
 The Derivative of the Sigmoid.
void AddPre(TSynapse* )
 Adds a synapse to the neuron as an input
 This method is used by the TSynapse while
 connecting two neurons.
void AddPost(TSynapse* )
 Adds a synapse to the neuron as an output
 This method is used by the TSynapse while
 connecting two neurons.
void AddInLayer(TNeuron* )
 Tells a neuron which neurons form its layer (including itself).
 This is needed for self-normalizing functions, like Softmax.
TTreeFormula* UseBranch(TTree* , const char* )
 Sets a formula that can be used to make the neuron an input.
 The formula is automatically normalized to mean=0, RMS=1.
 This normalisation is used by GetValue() (input neurons)
 and GetError() (output neurons)
Double_t GetBranch() const
 Returns the formula value.
Double_t GetInput() const
 Returns neuron input
Double_t GetValue() const
 Computes the output using the appropriate function and all
 the weighted inputs, or uses the branch as input.
 In that case, the branch normalisation is also used.
Double_t GetDerivative() const
 computes the derivative for the appropriate function
 at the working point
Double_t GetError() const
 Computes the error for output neurons.
 Returns 0 for other neurons.
Double_t GetTarget() const
 Computes the normalized target pattern for output neurons.
 Returns 0 for other neurons.
Double_t GetDeDw() const
 Computes the derivative of the error wrt the neuron weight.
void ForceExternalValue(Double_t value)
 Uses the branch type to force an external value.
void SetNormalisation(Double_t mean, Double_t RMS)
 Sets the normalization variables.
 Any input neuron will return (branch-mean)/RMS.
 When UseBranch is called, mean and RMS are automatically set
 to the actual branch mean and RMS.
void SetWeight(Double_t w)
 Sets the neuron weight to w.
 The neuron weight corresponds to the bias in the
 linear combination of the inputs.
void SetNewEvent() const
 Inform the neuron that inputs of the network have changed,
 so that the buffered values have to be recomputed.
void SetDEDw(Double_t in)
 Sets the derivative of the total error wrt the neuron weight.
