Growing Grid

5.4.8

No new Nodes
No new nodes will be inserted.
lambda_g
This parameter ($\lambda_g$) indicates how many adaptation steps on average are done per node before new nodes are inserted (growth phase).
lambda_f
This parameter ($\lambda_f$) indicates how many adaptation steps on average are done per node before new nodes are inserted (fine-tuning phase).
epsilon_i
epsilon initial ($\epsilon_i$).
epsilon_f
epsilon final ($\epsilon_f$).
sigma
This parameter ($\sigma$) determines the width of the bell-shaped neighborhood interaction function.
In the fine-tuning phase the time-dependend learning rate $\epsilon(t)$is determined according to

\begin{displaymath}
\qquad\epsilon(t) = \epsilon_i(\epsilon_f/\epsilon_i)^{t/t_{\rm max}}.\end{displaymath}
