Abstract

In this letter to the editor we report on a methodological error made in the article entitled "A mathematical framework for improved weight initialization of neural networks using Lagrange multipliers" by dePater and Mitici recently appeared in this journal. The error relates to the incorrect application of a weight initialisation method we derived, published last year in this same journal.
