If Bs Are Weights, Xs Are Input Values, and C $L=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{b_{i} X_{i}}}{c}$

question 36

Multiple Choice

If bs are weights, Xs are input values, and c is a constant or intercept, provide the equation for discriminant functions, L.

• A) \( L=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{b_{i} X_{i}}}{c} \)
• B) \( L=b_{1} X_{1}+b_{2} X_{2}+\ldots+b_{n} X_{n}+c \)
• C) \( L=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{x}\left(b_{i}-X_{i}\right)^{3}}{c^{3}}} \)
• D) \( L=\sqrt{\frac{b_{1} X_{1}+b_{2} X_{2}+\ldots+b_{n} X_{n}+c}{c}} \)
