glminit

Purpose

Initialise the weights in a generalized linear model.

Synopsis

net = glminit(net, prior)

Description

net = glminit(net, prior) takes a generalized linear model net and sets the weights and biases by sampling from a Gaussian distribution. If prior is a scalar, then all of the parameters (weights and biases) are sampled from a single isotropic Gaussian with inverse variance equal to prior. If prior is a data structure similar to that in mlpprior but for a single layer of weights, then the parameters are sampled from multiple Gaussians according to their groupings (defined by the index field) with corresponding variances (defined by the alpha field).
