Difference between MLogistic and SoftMax activation functions

[pvareschi]

Re: Neural Network Modelling

When modelling multinomial target variables, which activation function should be used, between MLogistic and SoftMax? The demonstration at page 2.15 of the course text uses MLogistic but the table at page 3.27 recommends SoftMax.

check online documentation in sas enterprise miner here https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/miner/em151-143/emprcref.pdf

mlogistic and softmax are the same function with different names.
