If you want to understand how to use Derivative Free-optimized Cascade Forward Neural Network, you need to read the paper titled Optimization of neural-network model using a meta-heuristic algorithm for the estimation of dynamic Poisson’s ratio of selected rock types. The paper can be accessed at the following this link

Please include these citations if you plan to use this library:
