Conclusion
The network is capable of identifying the behavior of the family curve.
The amplitude and frequency values obtained with the ANN are close to those obtained by means of the 2-DOF model.
The accuracy in the results obtained can be improved if a greater number of samples is used.
Other combination of network parameters could allow getting better results.
The reduction in computation time is drastically reduced when using the ANN.
Identifies behavior of the family curve
Closely approximates amplitude and frequency of 2-DOF model
Drastically reduces computation time

Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
