Is it appropriate to pass in a derivative to calculate the error of a Neural Net?
I'm reading a guide for back-propagation of a neural net, and it gives the error function as:
Next work out the error for neuron B. The error is What you want – What you actually get, in other words: ErrorB = OutputB (1-OutputB)(TargetB –…
