Figure 4

Plot of residual mean squares as a function of the number of nodes in the hidden layers, in the three-layers network ( ), and in the second ( ) and third (○) layers of the four-layers network. For the networks labelled ( ), 3 nodes were used in the third layer; and for the networks labelled (○), 4 nodes were used in the second layer. The lines have no physical meaning; they are included to better illustrate the optimal number of nodes.
