Hi R-helpers , am trying out nnet package in R. Does nnet package work only for numerical values as inputs? Can somebody give an insight on how categorical values as inputs are handled using nnet in r with an example? Thanks in advance for your help. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/non-numerical-values-as-input-using-nnet-tp2991623p2991623.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Response can be (?multinom) factor (?as.factor), while predictors (don't know, but i think not) can be turned into numbers via varius distance measures. -- Mi?ego dnia
Thanks ?ukasz.My dataset has 5 columns in which first 3 are numerical , the 4th is a name and 5th is a number(sales).I am trying to use nnet to predict the sales based on the other 4 parameters.The nnet takes each name value as an input. How does nnet take the name value as? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/non-numerical-values-as-input-using-nnet-tp2991623p2991682.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
