netpak

Purpose

Combines weights and biases into one weights vector.

Synopsis

w = netpak(net)

Description

w = netpak(net) takes a network data structure net and combines the component weight matrices into a single row vector w. The facility to switch between these two representations for the network parameters is useful, for example, in training a network by error function minimization, since a single vector of parameters can be handled by general-purpose optimization routines. This function also takes into account a mask defined as a field in net by removing any weights that correspond to entries of 0 in the mask.
