similar to: Probabilistic neural network (PNN)

Dear useRs, I am pleased to announce the release of the new package PNN. PNN implements the algorithm proposed by Specht (1990). It is written in the R statistical language. It solves a common problem in automatic learning. Knowing a set of observations described by a vector of quantitative variables, we classify them in a given number of groups. Then, the algorithm is trained with this datasets

Hi, I'm working on a classification problem and one of the methods I'd like to use are neural networks. I've been using nnet to build a classification network. However I would like to have the probabilities associated with the prediction. Are there any implementations of probabilistic neural networks available in R? thanks,

Hi, I am having difficulty in training a neural network using the package "neuralnet". My neural network has 2 input neurons (covariates), 1 hidden layer with 2 hidden neurons and 2 output neurons (responses). I am training my neural network with a dataset that has been transformed so that each column is of type "numeric". The difficulty I am facing is that the responses of

Hi, I am starting to play around with neural networks and noticed that there are several packages on the CRAN website for neural networks (AMORE, grnnR, neural, neuralnet, maybe more if I missed them). Are any of these packages more well-suited for newbies to neural networks? Are there any relative strengths / weaknesses to the different implementations? If anyone has any advice before I dive

As a follow-up to my email below: The input data frame to nnet() has dimensions: > dim(coreaff.trn.nn) [1] 5088 8 And the predictions from the neural network (35 records are dropped - see email below for more details) has dimensions: > pred <- predict(coreaff.nn1) > dim(pred) [1] 5053 1 So, the following line of R code does not work as the dimensions are

Sorry for these multiple postings. I solved the problem using na.omit() to drop records with missing values for the time being. I will worry about imputation, etc. later. I calculated the sum of squared errors for 3 models, linear regression, neural networks, and support vector machines. This is the first run. Without doing any parameter tuning on the SVM or playing around with the number of

I am exploring neural networks (adding non-linearities) to see if I can get more predictive power than a linear regression model I built. I am using the function nnet and following the example of Venables and Ripley, in Modern Applied Statistics with S, on pages 246 to 249. I have standardized variables (z-scores) such as assets, age and tenure. I have other variables that are binary (0 or 1). In

Hi, I'm using the R nnet package to train a classifier to recognise items which belong to a particular class and those which don't belong to the class. I'm supplying nnet with a matrix x containing training examples (in each row) and a matrix y of targets. The training set is made up of 200 positive examples and 1000 negative examples. I want to train the network on the same

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 folks, I want to apply a neural network to a data set to classify the observations in the different classes from a concrete response variable. The idea is to prove different models from network modifying the number of neurons of the hidden layer to control overfitting. But, to select the best model how I can choose the relevant variables? How I can eliminate those that are not significant for

Hi. I started with a file which was a sparse 982x923 matrix and where the last column was a variable to be predicted. I did principle component analysis on it and arrived at a new 982x923 matrix. Then I ran the code below to get a neural network using nnet and then wanted to get a confusion matrix or at least know how accurate the neural net was. I used the first 22 principle components only for

Hi, I am trying to build a VERY basic neural network as a practice before hopefully increasing my scope. To do so, I have been using package "neural" and the MLP related functions (mlp and mlptrain) within that package. So far, I have created a basic network, but I have been unable to change the default activation function. If someone has a suggestion, please advise. The goal of the

Hi all, I am trying to develop a neural network(Multilayer perceptron) with the package 'NEURALNET'. I have some doubts on it, 1. Whether this procedure taken care about categorical input variables- The reason is I could not find any option to describe type of variable in the arguments? 2.The algorithm is providing input variables generalized weights like this, >

Dear list, I am new to R and am using it to develop and test my own neural network codes. I need some training datasets that have the prediction results that should (approximately) appear when the datasets are passed through a good neural network, in order to test whether my code is working according to standards or not. Currently I am using nnet() and predict() function in nnet package to

Hi! I am studying to use some R libraries which are applied for working with artificial neural neworks (amore, nnet). Can you recommend some useful, reliable and easy to get example data to use in R for creating and testing a neural network? __________________________________________________________________ Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet

Hi everyone, I'm a graduate student of engineering, lately introduced with R. and using R for my project and thesis. I'm trying to use R for implementing a neural network regression model and apply it to my database. I found three R packages ("AMORE" , "grnnR" , "neural") in R website, but their manuals are not really user-friendly in my idea. I was wondering

Are there any packages in R that are suitable for doing time series forecasting using neural networks? I have looked in the nnet package and neural package and they both seem geared towards classification. thanks, Spencer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello! We are a group of three students at Bielefeld University currently working on a statistical projects about neural networks. Within the framework of this project we are supposed to use the nnet-function in R and explain how it works. Since anyone of us has much experience in using R we hoped to find some information on your homepage. Unfortunatelly, we haven't been very successfull so

Hi all gurus, I have a few general questions about using neural networks function, i.e. the nnet function. I'm new to this function and still exploring it. So please kindly bear with me. Here are my questions. 1. Is there anyway that I can specify my own objective or loss function for my neural networks? I see that by arguments that we can pass into the networks, we have either square loss

Hi all, I have considered neural network to classify the health status of the cow. I found a very neatly written R codes for classification method in here<http://home.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~jarle/IAC/RRoutines/classification-example.R> . It would be very helpful if you can answer some of the questions, that I am struggling with, I have set of time series data from different animals, I use
