How to draw the diagram of additive model of a neuron by Tikz in Latex?

Question

I want to draw the diagram, as attached in the image, with Tikz in latex. I tried by myself to do it but I couldn't get success. My Tikz code is attached here

        \end{scope}
        \node[label=above:\parbox{2cm}{\centering Bias \\ $b_{k}$}] at (sigma|-w1) (b) {};
        %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
        \draw (x1) to [R=$w_{k1}$] (w1);

        \draw[-latex] (w1) -- (sigma);
        \draw[-latex] (w2) -- (sigma);
        \draw[-latex] (w3) -- (sigma);
        \draw[o-latex] (b) -- (sigma);
        
        \draw[decorate,decoration={brace,mirror}] (x1.north west) -- node[left=10pt] {Inputs} (xn.south west);
        \end{tikzpicture}
        \caption{}
        \label{neuralnetwork}
    \end{figure}
\end{document}

Could anyone help me to sort out this problem?

Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Just for fun, an option with relative coordinates, all to the point of origin. Is a matter of taste but I prefer to compile all my tikz drawings, each one with its own code in a folder with their respective outputs in pdf format, and then import them to my main document in the same way as the images, with the advantage that it reduces compilation time and preserves the vector format, being able to scale them to the width of the page even import it within a node within a tkz code of the main document...
