# AI::NNFlex::Mathlib
#######################################################
# Various custom mathematical functions for AI::NNFlex
#######################################################
#
# Version history
# ===============
#
# 1.0 	CColbourn	20050315	Compiled into a
#					single module
#
# 1.1	CColbourn	20050321	added in sigmoid_slope
#
# 1.2	CColbourn	20050330	Added in hopfield_threshold
#
# 1,3	CColbourn	20050407	Changed sigmoid function to
#					a standard sigmoid. sigmoid2
#					now contains old sigmoid,
#					which is more used in BPTT
#					and I think needs cross 
#					entropy calc to work.

=head1 NAME

AI::NNFlex::Mathlib - miscellaneous mathematical functions for the AI::NNFlex NN package

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The AI::NNFlex::Mathlib package contains activation and error functions. At present there are the following:

Activation functions

=over

=item *
tanh

=item *
linear

=item *
hopfield_threshold

=back

Error functions

=over

=item *
atanh

=back

If you want to implement your own activation/error functions, you can add them to this module. All activation functions to be used by certain types of net (like Backprop) require an additional function <function name>_slope, which returns the 1st ord...

This rule doesn't apply to all network types. Hopfield for example requires no slope calculation.

=head1 CHANGES

v1.2 includes hopfield_threshold
