Next: One-layer Net Code Previous: Two Computation Phases

Parameters That Can Affect Performance

Initial weights (can be initialized to 0, usually better if randomly set)
Initial threshold (y=1 if \(\Sigma w_i * x_i > threshold\))
Transfer function
Bias n (\(w^{new}\) = \(w^{old}\) + n($y^d$ - y)x) or learning rate

Threshold update function

Number of epochs
