/**
 * An activation function based on the Gaussian function. The output range is
 * between 0 and 1. This activation function is used mainly for the HyperNeat
 * implementation.
 * 
 * A derivative is provided, so this activation function can be used with
 * propagation training.  However, its primary intended purpose is for
 * HyperNeat.  The derivative was obtained with the R statistical package.
 * 
 * If you are looking to implement a RBF-based neural network, see the 
 * RBFNetwork class.
 * 
 * The idea for this activation function was developed by  Ken Stanley, of  
 * the University of Texas at Austin.
