<p class="para">
The connection rate controls how many connections there will be in the network. If the connection rate
is set to 1, the network will be fully connected, but if it is set to 0.5 only half of the connections
will be set. A connection rate of 1 will yield the same result as <span class="function"><a href="function.fann-create-standard.html" class="function">fann_create_standard()</a></span>.
