SystemObject
Imsl.DataMining.NeuralLink

Namespace: Imsl.DataMining.Neural
Assembly: ImslCS (in ImslCS.dll) Version: 6.5.2.0

Syntax

[SerializableAttribute]
public class Link

<SerializableAttribute>
Public Class Link

[SerializableAttribute]
public ref class Link

[<SerializableAttribute>]
type Link =  class end

The Link type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Properties

	Name	Description
	From	The origination Node for this Link.
	To	The destination Node for this Link.
	Weight	The weight for this Link.

Remarks

Link objects are not created directly. Instead, they are created by factory methods in FeedForwardNetwork.

The most useful method is LinkAll() which creates Link objects connecting every Node in each Layer to every Node in the next Layer.

The method Link(node,node) creates a Link from a Node to any Node in a later Layer.

The method FindLink(Node,Node) returns the Link connecting two Nodes in the Network.

The method Remove(Link) removes a Link from the Network.

Each Link object contains a weight, see property Weight. Weights are used in computing Perceptron values.
