To do this erfectly, the function must lie within certain bounds. This is a roerty of robability distributions. This aer establishes the heterogeneous transfer function, SATLINS TANSIG, as a Probability Distribution Functions.d.f by showing that it is roer. It also shows the mean and variance.

On Some Proerties of a Hetereogeneous Transfer Function Involving Symmetric Saturated Linear SATLINS with Hyerbolic Tangent Sigmoid TAN- SIG Transfer Functions. Progress in Alied Mathematics, 5, Available from htt:// DOI: /j.am INTRODUCTION Artificial Neural Networks ANNs are non linear maing structures based on the function of the human brain. They imitate the training of the human brain and can rocess roblems involving non linear and comlex data even if the data are imrecise and noisy. They are owerful tools for modeling, esecially when the underlying data relationshi is unknown, and are ideally suited for modeling linear 40

2 Udomboso, C. G./Progress in Alied Mathematics, 5, 03 and non linear data. This is why their alications to statistical roblems are very interesting. Such networks are called the Statistical Neural Network SNN. This study centres on the Multi-Layer Percetron MLP which haens to be the most commonly used tye of ANN. It has been found to be owerful in terms of model recision in the usage of homogeneous transfer functions TFs, esecially with comlex or large data set. The choice of MLP is because it is the only ANN tye that allows for statistical inference. The modeling ower of an SNN model lies on the transfer function that is used. There are several transfer functions that may be used in a given SNN model. S- elections are made from a fixed ool of different transfer functions, and ossibly using runing techniques to dro functions that are not useful. U till now, known literatures and researches have reorted network analysis using one transfer functions that is, homogeneous models. For examle, 9 used the sigmoid transfer function, while 0 comared logistic and hyerbolic tangent transfer functions, 4 used the tangential transfer function that is, family of tangents functions, as well as used the symmetric saturated linear transfer function. This study endeavours to investigate an analytical derivation of a heterogeneous transfer function using the symmetric saturated linear SATLINS as well as the hyerbolic tangent sigmoid TANSIG transfer functions. It further showed that the derived transfer function is a roer robability density function.d.f. Hence the mean and variance were also derived.. THE STATISTICAL NEURAL NETWORK MODEL Anders 996 roosed a statistical neural network model given as y fx, w u where y is the deendent variable, X x 0, x,..., x I is a vector of indeendent variables, w α, β, γ is the network weight: α is the weight of the inut unit, β is the weight of the hidden unit, and γ is the weight of the outut unit, and u i is the stochastic term that is normally distributed that is, u i N0, σ I n. Basically, fx, w is the artificial neural network function, exressed as H I fx, w αx β h g γ hi x i. h where g. is the transfer function. The roosed convoluted form of the artificial neural network function used in this study is H I I fx, w αx β h g γ hi x i g γ hi x i h and thus, the form of the statistical neural network model roosed is H I I y αx β h g γ hi x i g γ hi x i u i u j h where y is the deendent variable, X x 0, x,..., x I is a vector of indeendent 4

In this aer, we investigate the distributional roerties of the heterogeneous transfer function arising from the convolution of SATLINS and TANSIG. Let g.

DISTRIBUTIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE SATLINS - TANSIG MODEL We now show that the derived transfer function is a robability density function. By definition, the robability density function.d.f of function fx of a random variable X : Ω R is said to be a roer.d.f if for x,, x X, we have that, fxdx, 43 x X
