My lecture notes state the following:
$z = \dfrac{1}{1 + e^{-s}}$
$E = \dfrac{1}{2} \sum (z - t)^2$
$\therefore \dfrac{ \partial{E} }{ \partial{s} } = (z - t)z(1 - z)$
In this case, $E$ is an error function.
I have calculated that $\dfrac{ \partial{E} }{ \partial{s} } = \dfrac{ \partial{E} }{ \partial{z} } \dfrac{ dz }{ ds } = \left[ \sum (z - t) \right]z(1 - z)$
And so I have two questions that I would appreciate clarification on:
Am I correct in saying that $\dfrac{ \partial{E} }{ \partial{s} } = \dfrac{ \partial{E} }{ \partial{z} } \dfrac{ dz }{ ds }$?
Why doesn't the summation symbol carry forward?
