__init__ (
        self,
        num_nodes,
        has_bias_node,
        )

Initialize the layer.

Arguments:

• num_nodes -- The number of nodes that are contained in this layer.

• has_bias_node -- Specify whether or not this node has a bias node. This node is not included in the number of nodes in the network, but is used in constructing and dealing with the network.

__str__ ( self )

Debugging output.

set_weight (
        self,
        this_node,
        next_node,
        value,
        )

Set a weight value from one node to the next.

If weights are not explicitly set, they will be initialized to random values to start with.
