Hi, I have a binary variable and many explanatory variables and I want to use the package "nnet" to model these data, (instead of logistic regression). I want to find the more effective variables (inputs to the network) in the neural network model. how can I do this? thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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? Thanks in advance for your help. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/non-numerical-values-as-input-using-nnet-tp2991623p2991623.html Sent from the R help

Hi, Am working on neural network.

Hi, I just want to point out a discrepancy between the documentation of predict.nnet & the function definition. >?predict.nnet => predict.nnet package:nnet R Documentation Predict New Examples by a Trained Neural Net Description: Predict new examples by a trained neural net.

Dear R people, I am using tune.nnet from e1071 package to tune the parameters for nnet. I am using the following syntax: tuneclass <-c(rep(1,46),rep(2,15)) tunennet <-tune.nnet(x=traindata,y=tuneclass,size=c(50,75,100),decay=c(0,0.005,0.010),MaxNWts = 20000) Here traindata is the training data that I want to tune for nnet which is a matrix with 61 rows(samples) and 200

One possibility is to look at predict.nnet(), and - Write an R function that write out parts of an nnet object that are needed by predict.nnet() to an external file. - Re-write predict.nnet() in C, reading the model information from the external file. Obviously you'll also need the C source for the code that predict.nnet() calls, and modify those as needed to strip out dependency on R, if

Hello All, I am working with samr and nnet packages. I am following the steps given below: 1> I take a input file with signal values for 9506 genes and 36 chips , belonging to two classes. 2> I perform samr analysis on 80% of chip data from both the classes.(selected by random sampling) 3> I then use the data of only the significant genes from this samr analysis to train nnet. 4>

Hello, I am pretty new to R. I am working on neural network classifiers and I am feeding the nnet input from different regions of interest (fMRI data). The script that I am using is this: library (MASS) heap_lda <- data.frame(as.matrix(t(read.table(file="R_10_5runs_matrix9.txt")))*100000,syll = c(rep("heap",3),rep("hoop",3),rep("hop",3))) library(nnet)

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

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

Hello ! I'd like to know to which of the FANN package network corresponds the R nnet network ? In more details, what is the R nnet activation function, what is the training algorithm (rprop, quickprop, ...) ? Also, it seems that the R nnet "decay" parameter in nnet corresponds to the "learning_rate" parameter in FANN. Correct ? Many thanks in advance ! Luc Moulinier

Greetings, I am having trouble calculating artificial neural network misclassification errors using errorest() from the ipred package. I have had no problems estimating the values with randomForest() or svm(), but can't seem to get it to work with nnet(). I believe this is due to the output of the predict.nnet() function within cv.factor(). Below is a quick example of the problem I'm

Hi there, I´ve a question concerning the nnet package in the area of survival analysis: what is the final value, which is computed to fit the model with the following nnet-c all: net <- nnet(cat~x, data=d, size=2, decay=0.1, censored=TRUE, maxit=20, Wts=rep(0,22), Hess=TRUE) where cat is a matrix with a row for each record and

good night Again I ask for help to the community, as I am new at this, I have some basic questions. I am looking for packages on neural networks and so you can search found these two that I think are the most used, neuralnet, nnet. So you can test, and correct me if I'm wrong the neuralnet only accepts as input values ??nomer, did a little test data (iris) library (neuralnet)

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

Hi, I'm currently trying desperately to get the nnet function for training a neural network (with one hidden layer) to perform a regression task. So I run it like the following: trainednet <- nnet(x=traindata, y=trainresponse, size = 30, linout = TRUE, maxit=1000) (where x is a matrix and y a numerical vector consisting of the target values for one variable) To see whether the network

Greetings list, I've just swapped from the "neural" package to the "nnet" package and I've noticed that the training is orders of magnitude faster, and the results are way more accurate. This leads me to wonder, what training algorithm is "nnet" using? Is it a modification on the standard backpropagation? Or a completely different algorithm? I'm
