The exponential learning equation as a function of successful trials results in sigmoid performance

چکیده
While the exponential learning equation, indicating a gradually diminishing improvement, is one of the standard equations to describe learning, a sigmoid behavior with initially increasing then decreasing improvement has also been suggested. Herewe show that the sigmoid behavior ismathematically derived from the standard exponential equation when the independent variable of the equation is restricted to the successful trials alone. It is suggested that for tasks promoting success-based learning, performance is better described by the derived sigmoid curve. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Predicting the Coefficients of Antoine Equation Using the Artificial Neural Network (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Neural network is one of the new soft computing methods commonly used for prediction of the thermodynamic properties of pure fluids and mixtures. In this study, we have used this soft computing method to predict the coefficients of the Antoine vapor pressure equation. Three transfer functions of tan-sigmoid (tansig), log-sigmoid (logsig), and linear were used to evaluate the performance of diff...

متن کاملNumerical Solution of Multidimensional Exponential Levy Equation by Block Pulse Function
The multidimensional exponential Levy equations are used to describe many stochastic phenomena such as market fluctuations. Unfortunately in practice an exact solution does not exist for these equations. This motivates us to propose a numerical solution for n-dimensional exponential Levy equations by block pulse functions. We compute the jump integral of each block pulse function and present a ...
