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

Hi, Our data has column names with spaces in that.The names in dataFrame are, *[1] "Sepal Length" "Sepal Width" "Petal Length" "Petal Width" "Species" * When i try to use the column names in rpart function, it gives the following error. * rp<-rpart(as.factor(`Species`)~`Sepal Length`) Error in `[.data.frame`(frame, predictors) :

HI, Dear R community, My data set has 2409 variables, the last one is response variable. I have used the nnet after feature selection and works. But this time, I am using nnet to fit a model without feature selection. I got the following error information: > dim(train) [1] 1827 2409 nnet.fit<-nnet(as.factor(out) ~ ., data=train, size=3, rang=0.3, decay=5e-4, maxit=500) # model

I was wandering if anybody ever tried to compare the classification accuracy of nnet to other (rpart, tree, bagging) models. From what I know, there is no reason to expect a significant difference in classification accuracy between these models, yet in my particular case I get about 10% error rate for tree, rpart and bagging model and 80% error rate for nnet, applied to the same data. Thanks.

Hi, I am working on a project which needs a multinomial logit regression. So I want to reference the code of multinom in nnet package. I found nnet package is no longer in the CRAN list. But I cannot find the source code in R Core source code package either. Anyone knows how to see the source code of nnet? Luo

DeaR useRs: I am looking for a function which fits a multinomial model and in Baron?s page I find the function "multinom" in package "nnet" but this package is deprecated. I suppose that this function is now in other package but I can't find it. Can you help me? Thanks.

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?

I am looking into using the multinomial logistic regression option in the nnet library and have two questions about formatting the data. 1. Can data be analysed in the following format or does it need to be transformed into count data, such as the housing data in MASS?

Dear All: I am interested in multinomial logit models (function multinon, library nnet) but I'm having troubles in choose whether to define the predictors as factors or not. I had posted earlier this example (thanks for the reply ronggui): worms<- data.frame(year= rep(2000:2004, c(3,3,3,3,3)),age=rep(1:3,5),

Dear R users, The nnet package includes the multinom method for the confint function. The R Help file (?confint) for the generic function in the stats package and the help files for the glm and nls methods in the MASS package indicate that one can use the "parm" argument as "a specification of which parameters are to be given confidence intervals, either a vector of numbers or

Hola todos Cuando realizo las predicciones del modelo multinomial con el paquete nnet, estas cambian cada vez que lo ejecuto ... saben por qué pasa esto ?? Gracias por la ayuda. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I apologize if this seems like an obvious question, but I have been looking everywhere and have yet to find an answer. I am doing a multinomial regression with multinom() in the nnet package. I have a 3 level ordered response (ordered()) variable and 4 predictors, 3 of which are numerical and one which is an ordered factor (also ordered()) with 5 levels (a, b, c, d, e). My question is in

Hi, I am trying to run a nnet algorithm but when I try to use the predict function with type='class', it gives the following error: fit <- nnet(y~., size = 1, data = train.set, rang = 0.5, maxit=200, decay = 0) predict<-predict(fit,test.set,type='class') Error in predict.nnet(fit, test.set, type = "class") : inappropriate fit for class I couldn't figure

Hi all, I am trying to develop a neural network with single target variable and 5 input variables to predict the importance of input variables using R. I used the packages nnet and RSNNS. But unfortunately I could not interpret the out put properly and the documentation of that packages also not giving proper direction. Please help me to find a good package with a proper documentation for neural

Hi all, I'm using nnet() for non-linear regression as in Ch8.10 of MASS. I understand that nnet() by default optimizes least squares. I'm looking to have it instead optimize such that the mean error is zero (so that it is unbiased). Any suggestions on how this might be achieved?

Is AIC or BIC available when using the nnet package? Thank you Paul Green

Hi R-helpers , can you please let me know the methods in which NULL values can be handled in R? Are there any generic commands/functions that can be given in a workspace,so that the NULL values occuring in that workspace (for any datasets that are loaded , any output that is calculated) , are considered in the same way? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context:

I want to get the logLik to calculate McFadden.R2 ,ML.R2 and Cragg.Uhler.R2, but the value from multinom does not have logLik.So my quetion is : is logLik meaningful to multinomial logistic model from multinom?If it does, how can I get it? Thank you! ps: I konw VGAM has function to get the multinomial logistic model with logLik, but I prefer use the function from "official" R

Dear R people, I want to use the tune.nnet function of e1071 package to tune nnet . I am unable to understand the parameters of tune.nnet from the e1071 pdf document. I have performed nnet on a traindata and want to test it for class prediction with a testdata. I want to know the values of size,decay,range etc. parameters for which the prediction of testdata is best. Can anyone please tell me
