I've seen discussion here before about fancy normalization
procedures (computing the pdf of each input vector and warping
it to be Gaussian). Not to be fancy, what is the *simple* but yet
preferred way to normalize for bp (my transfer function is
[-1,1] sigmoidal, if it matters)?
(a) scaling (dividing each element by the max element in the vector)
(b) normalization (dividing each element by the length of the vector)
(c) global normalization (dividing every element in every input vector
by the maximum length of all input vectors in a training set)
(d) something else
I'm going with (b) for now, but I have a hunch that (c) might be better.
