I have found formula to calculate importance factor of each variable of ANN model from Linda Milne paper namely "Feature Selection Using Neural Networks with Contribution Measures".

Can anyone explain how to use this formula? (attached are the pictures of this formula)

ANN architecture is 9-9-1, so i am having weights for input-hidden layers in 9x9 matrix and weights for hidden-output layers in 1x9 matrix. I am confused in wji, woj, wjl mentioned in the formula. Can anyone explain how to input weights in this formula?

Thanks
