Neural Network Datasets
  -----------------------
 
  Function Fitting, Function approximation and Curve fitting.
 
  Function fitting is the process of training a neural network on a
  set of inputs in order to produce an associated set of target outputs.
  Once the neural network has fit the data, it forms a generalization of
  the input-output relationship and can be used to generate outputs for
  inputs it was not trained on.

  Pattern Recognition and Classification
 
  Pattern recognition is the process of training a neural network to assign
  the correct target classes to a set of input patterns.  Once trained the
  network can be used to classify patterns it has not seen before.

  Clustering, Feature extraction and Data dimension reduction
 
  Clustering is the process of training a neural network on patterns
  so that the network comes up with its own classifications according
  to pattern similarity and relative topology.  This is useful for gaining
  insight into data, or simplifying it before further processing.
 
   simplecluster_dataset - Simple clustering dataset.
  
  The inputs of fitting or pattern recognition datasets may also clustered.

  Input-Output Time-Series Prediction, Forecasting, Dynamic modeling
  Nonlinear autoregression, System identification and Filtering
 
  Input-output time series problems consist of predicting the next value
  of one time series given another time series. Past values of both series
  (for best accuracy), or only one of the series (for a simpler system)
  may be used to predict the target series.
