estimation of output parameters in case studies
Once trained, the weights and biases of the neural network can be used to
generate the output vector a as a function of input vector p, as given in Equation
(13.3).
a = f2(HW. fl(lW.p+bl)+b2)

where bl is the bias vector between the input layer and the hidden layer; b2 is
the bias vector between the hidden layer and the output layer; IW is the weight
matrix between the input layer and the hidden layer; HW is the weight matrix
between the hidden layer and the output layer; fl is the transfer function between
the input layer and the hidden layer; f2 is the transfer function between the hidden
layer and the output layer; p is the input vector and a is the simulated output
vector.
The hyperbolic tangent sigmoid function and linear function are given by
equations (13.4) and (13.5) respectively.
