fann_create_sparse_array - Creates a standard backpropagation neural network, which is not fully connected using an array of layer sizes

SYNOPSIS

       ReturnType fann_create_sparse_array (float  $connection_rate, int  $num_layers, array  $layers)

DESCRIPTION

	Creates a standard backpropagation neural network, which is not fully connected using an array of layer sizes.

PARAMETERS

	      o $connection_rate
		-  The connection rate controls how many connections there will be in the network. If the connection rate is set to 1, the network
		will be fully connected, but if it is set to 0.5 only half of the connections will be set. A connection rate of 1 will	yield  the
		same result as fann_create_standard(3).

	      o $num_layers
		- The total number of layers including the input and the output layer.

	      o $layers
		- An array of layer sizes.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a neural network resource on success, or FALSE on error.
