  Interface to Clermond-Ferrand artificial neural network

  <p>
  The CFMlpANN belong to the class of Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), which are
  feed-forward networks according to the following propagation schema:<br>
  <center>
  <img vspace=10 src="gif/tmva_mlp.gif" align="bottom" alt="Schema for artificial neural network">
  </center>
  The input layer contains as many neurons as input variables used in the MVA.
  The output layer contains two neurons for the signal and background
  event classes. In between the input and output layers are a variable number
  of <i>k</i> hidden layers with arbitrary numbers of neurons. (While the
  structure of the input and output layers is determined by the problem, the
  hidden layers can be configured by the user through the option string
  of the method booking.) <br>

  As indicated in the sketch, all neuron inputs to a layer are linear
  combinations of the neuron output of the previous layer. The transfer
  from input to output within a neuron is performed by means of an "activation
  function". In general, the activation function of a neuron can be
  zero (deactivated), one (linear), or non-linear. The above example uses
  a sigmoid activation function. The transfer function of the output layer
  is usually linear. As a consequence: an ANN without hidden layer should
  give identical discrimination power as a linear discriminant analysis (Fisher).
  In case of one hidden layer, the ANN computes a linear combination of
  sigmoid.  <br>

  The learning method used by the CFMlpANN is only stochastic.

   //
   // * note that the number of hidden layers in the NN is:
   //   n_hidden_layers = n_layers - 2
   //
   // * since there is one input and one output layer. The number of
   //   nodes (neurons) is predefined to be:
   //   n_nodes[i] = nvars + 1 - i (where i=1..n_layers)
   //
   //   with nvars being the number of variables used in the NN.
   //
   // Hence, the default case is: n_neurons(layer 1 (input)) : nvars
   //                             n_neurons(layer 2 (hidden)): nvars-1

   // This artificial neural network usually needs a relatively large
   // number of cycles to converge (8000 and more). Overtraining can
   // be efficienctly tested by comparing the signal and background
   // output of the NN for the events that were used for training and
   // an independent data sample (with equal properties). If the separation
   // performance is significantly better for the training sample, the
   // NN interprets statistical effects, and is hence overtrained. In
   // this case, the number of cycles should be reduced, or the size
   // of the training sample increased.
