# fitted(to:validateOn:eventHandler:)

Fits a fully connected network classifier model to a sequence of examples.

```
func fitted<Input, Validation>(to input: Input, validateOn validation: Validation, eventHandler: EventHandler? = nil) async throws -> FullyConnectedNetworkClassifierModel<Scalar, Label> where Input : Sequence, Validation : Sequence, Input.Element == AnnotatedFeature<MLShapedArray<Scalar>, Label>, Validation.Element == AnnotatedFeature<MLShapedArray<Scalar>, Label>
```

## Parameters

`input`

A sequence of examples used for fitting the classifier.

`validation`

A sequence of examples used for validating the fitted classifier.

`eventHandler`

An event handler.

## Return Value

The fitted fully connected network classifier model.

## Discussion

The training process partitions the input into random batches according to the batch size configuration
parameter. Training stops when the validation loss stops improving or when the maximum number of iterations
is reached.
