PURELIN Linear transfer function.

Syntax

A = purelin(N,FP)

dA_dN = purelin('dn',N,A,FP)

INFO = purelin(CODE)

Description

PURELIN is a neural transfer function.  Transfer functions

calculate a layer's output from its net input.

PURELIN(N,FP) takes N and optional function parameters,

N - SxQ matrix of net input (column) vectors.

FP - Struct of function parameters (ignored).

and returns A, an SxQ matrix equal to N.

PURELIN('dn',N,A,FP) returns SxQ derivative of A w-respect to N.

If A or FP are not supplied or are set to [], FP reverts to

the default parameters, and A is calculated from N.

PURELIN('name') returns the name of this function.

PURELIN('output',FP) returns the [min max] output range.

PURELIN('active',FP) returns the [min max] active input range.

PURELIN('fullderiv') returns 1 or 0, whether DA_DN is SxSxQ or SxQ.

PURELIN('fpnames') returns the names of the function parameters.

PURELIN('fpdefaults') returns the default function parameters.

Examples

Here is the code to create a plot of the PURELIN transfer function.

n = -5:0.1:5;

a = purelin(n);

plot(n,a)

Here we assign this transfer function to layer i of a network.

net.layers{i}.transferFcn = 'purelin';

Algorithm

a = purelin(n) = n
