SANN - Automated Network Search (ANS)  Initialization Tab

You can select the Initialization tab of the SANN - Automated Network Search (ANS) dialog box to access the options described here. For information on the options that are common to all tabs, see SANN - Automated Network Search (ANS).

Option Description
Seed control for network initialization Options in this box specify a seed that is used to randomly generate the initial network weights. You have the choice of either specifying the seed value or letting SANN use the system time to provide the algorithm with a seed. In the latter case, no two analyses will be the same (which is the recommended option).
Use fixed seed Select this check box to use the specified seed which is used in the random generation of network weights.
Seed value Specifies the seed that is used to randomly generate the initial values of the network weights.
