Usually, the nodes in the first layer, the 10 B. Macukow Fig. 9. A feedforward network. input layer, merely distribute the inputs to subsequent layers, and do not perform any operations (summation or thresholding). NB.. some authors miss out these nodes. A layer - it is the part of network structure which contains active elements performing some operation. A multilayer network (Fig. 9) receives a number of inputs. These are distributed by a layer of input nodes that do not perform any operation – these inputs are then passed along the first layer of adaptive weights to a layer of perceptron-like units, which do sum and threshold their inputs.

For the network with two hidden layers NHN1 ¼ pffiffiffi m à r2 and NHN2 ¼ m à r where r ¼ 3 mn . The hidden neuron can influence the error in the nodes to which its output is connected. The stability of neural network is estimated by error. The minimal error denotes better stability, and higher error indicates worst stability. During the training, the network adapts in order to decrease the error emerging from the training patterns. Many researchers have fixed number of hidden neurons based on trial rule.
