R help - Jan 2023 - Stepmax in Neuralnet

Dear all,

if i set the stepmax parameter higher then i increase the performance of
the neuralnet?
Would be my prediction more accurate?

thanks
Best regards

Unfortunately, it's very hard to give a good answer to this question as
stated. If the model is underfitted, giving it more iterations might
result in performance increase. If the model is not underfitted, giving
it more iterations may improve its training set performance while
worsening its ability to predict non-training samples.

Have you tried it yourself?
