The Surprising Science Behind Neural Networks: How They Work and How to Build Your Own (Beginner’s Guide)

Neural networks use layers of connected neurons, each with adjustable weights and biases, to learn patterns from data. Training involves forward passes, loss calculation, and backpropagation to update parameters. Activation functions like sigmoid and ReLU allow modeling of complex relationships. Most networks are feedforward, with training requiring large datasets and multiple epochs.

  • Range Resources (RRC) Valuation Assessment Amid Recent Price Gains
    March 29, 2026, 4:28 PM EDT. Range Resources (RRC) has gained investor attention after its recent share price increase, rising 1.75% in one day and 15.43% over 30 days, contributing to a 22.76% total shareholder return over one year. Trading at around $47.65, the stock sits above analysts' average price target of $42.17, which suggests it is about 13% overvalued based on revenue, margin, and cash flow assumptions. However, a discounted cash flow (DCF) model estimates a higher fair value of $77.59, hinting at a potential undervaluation. Key growth drivers include expanding U.S. LNG export capacity and Range's East Coast infrastructure, though risks like tighter Appalachian regulations and slower gas demand remain. Investors must weigh these contrasting valuations and risks before deciding.
