Hi, I am trying to determine the number of units in the hidden layer and the decay rate using the CVnn2 script found in MASS directory (reference: pg 348,MASS-4). The model that I am using is in the form of Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3... + X11 and the underlying data is time-series in nature. I found the MASS and nnet package extremely useful (many thanks to the contributors). However I am getting an error while using the CVnn2 function...it says Fold 1 Size = 0, decay = 0, inner fold 1 Error in nnet.default(x,y,w,....): No weights to fit. Obliviously I am doing something wrong but am not able to figure it out. Do I have pass any weights? I am bit confused since the documentation of nnet suggests says "Wts: initial parameter vector. If missing chosen at Random". Has anybody faced the same error? I am using the latest R version on Linux box. TIA Manoj
You are trying to fit a neural network with no connections. That makes no sense unless skip=T (as on the page you are quoting).

Thanks for the prompt reply. I don't think I am using any non default
arguments but still...here is the exact syntax for two different case
(skip = T and default) and the corresponding error message that I
receive.
Default Case ("skip = F")
Syntax : nn.test <-
CVnn2(Y~X1+X2+X3+X4+X5+X6+X7+X8+X9+X10+X11,all.data.norm[1:train.set,],m
axit=500,nreps=10)
Error message:
Fold 1
Size = 0 decay = 0
Inner fold 1Error in nnet.default(x,y,w.....) : No
weights to fit.
Case where Skip = T:
Syntax: nn.test <-
CVnn2(Y~X1+X2+X3+X4+X5+X6+X7+X8+X9+X10+X11,all.data.norm[1:train.set,],m
axit=500,nreps=10,skip=T)
Error message:
Fold 1
Size=0 decay = 0
Inner fold 1Error in switch(type,raw=z,class= { : inappropriate
fit for class

`contributors'? Do see the DESCRIPTION file: it is hardly anonymous
work.

You have not shown us the call you used, but the default arguments are
size = rep(6, 2), lambda = c(0.001, 0.01) so you have used non-default
args without telling us what.

Please do re-read the basic description of neural nets and nnet().
