/*
The QuickPropLearningRule is the base class for all the ErrorBackPropagationLearning strategies. These
include error back propagation, bp+momentum, conjugte gradient descent, quick prop. 
This class specifies how the errors are backpropagated for a layer. They take a LayerBase 
object as input and compute the input for the layers input weightset
