Daniel@0: Description Daniel@0:

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