Dear Sir/Madam
I have recently started using the nnet
package but cannot find any documentation other than the one page titled
'nnet {nnet}' which is replicated several times over the internet and is
found in the help file for this package.
I would like more information on how to use the package and have searched
extensively over the internet but cannot find anything more. Do you know
of any other sources of information on the package, perhaps a book that I
should get hold of? Or has the package been replaced by another more
recent one for which there is more support.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Tristan

A book/online link with an example for all the parameters that are used in nnet would help in understanding the package better. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/nnet-support-tp840467p2991572.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The references have enough information about the package. But, understanding each parameter of nnet would be easier if there is an example for its usage.For example , how to give contrasts, an example with linear outputs etc. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/nnet-support-tp840467p2991691.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
The nnet package is a support package (along with MASS and others) for a book. My guess is that book would be the best place to start. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
