Detailed Description

Error Function which only uses a random fraction of data.

Conceptionally, this is the same as the normal ErrorFunction, with the only difference, that only a fraction of the training examples is chosen randomly out of the set and thus noise is introduced. This can be used to perform stochastic gradient descent or to introduce some noise to a problem.

Setting the batch size to 0 is equivalent to performing minibatch learning where one random batch is picked from the dataset instead of sampling points from it
