Package responsefn

source code

A family of response functions for CFProjections.

These function objects compute a response matrix when given an input pattern and a set of ConnectionField objects. Response functions come in two varieties: ResponseFunction, and CFPResponseFunction. A ResponseFunction (e.g. DotProduct) computes the response due to one CF. To compute the response due to an entire CFProjection, a ResponseFunction can be plugged in to CFPRF_Plugin. CFPRF_Plugin is one example of a CFPResponseFunction, which is a function that works with the entire Projection at once. Some optimizations and algorithms can only be applied at the full CFPResponseFn level, so there are other CFPResponseFns beyond CFPRF_Plugin.

Any new response functions added to this directory will automatically become available for any model.
