Abstract

In this paper, based on a stochastic model for inputs and weights, and in view of the disturbance of correlative and large input and weight errors, a general algorithm to obtain the output error characteristics of a class of multilayered perceptrons with threshold functions is proposed by using statistical approach. Furthermore, the formula to calculate the robustness of the networks is also given. The result of computer simulation indicates the correctness of the algorithm.
