Figure 11 neuronic detail<br />

From the model we find that the input (v) i.e. induced local field of the neuron to the<br />

activation function; in this case a hard limiter, is:<br />

Where b refers to the bias, w the particular weight for an input, x a particular input<br />

and v the hard limiter input. The aim of the perceptron is to correctly classify the set<br />

of inputs into either one class or the other. That is to one class if the perceptron<br />

output is > 0 (or 0) and to the other if it is
