fann_set_activation_function

Sets the activation function for supplied neuron and layer

&reftitle.description; `bool` `fann_set_activation_function` `resource` `ann` `int` `activation_function` `int` `layer` `int` `neuron`

Set the activation function for neuron number `neuron` in layer number `layer`, counting the input layer as layer 0.

It is not possible to set activation functions for the neurons in the input layer.

When choosing an activation function it is important to note that the activation functions have different range. `FANN_SIGMOID` is e.g. in the 0 - 1 range while `FANN_SIGMOID_SYMMETRIC` is in the -1 - 1 range and `FANN_LINEAR` is unbound.

The supplied activation_function value must be one of the activation functions constants.

The return value is one of the activation functions constants.
