Abstract—An important issue in the design of a neural network is the sensitivity of its output to input, and node fault. In this paper, new sensitive measures are proposed for node fault, specifically node stuck-at-zero fault. Correlation coefficient between empirical mean squared error and error due to proposed metric shows that the proposed metrics are significant metrics due to their statistical significance at 95% confidence level for node stuck-at-zero fault.
Index Terms—Sigmoidal feedforward neural network, node fault, fault metric, fault tolerance.
