similar to: Neural Network package AMORE and a weight decay

I am using the iris example came with nnet package to test AMORE. I can see the outcomes are similar to nnet with adaptative gradient descent. However, when I changed the method in the newff to the batch gradient descent, even by setting the epoch numbers very large, I still found all the iris expected class=2 being classified as class=3. In addition, all those records in the outcomes (y) are the

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

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

Hi All, I am trying to learn Neural Networks. I found that R has packages which can help build Neural Nets - the popular one being AMORE package. Is there any book / resource available which guides us in this subject using the AMORE package? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Indrajit

Hi, I would like to generate a list of all subsequence of length k from an array with length n (k < n). The result should be organized in a matrix. So the matrix should look like the following whereas each row is one of a subsequence of len k. [a[1:k], a[2:(k+1)] a[3:(k+2)] ... a[(n-k+1):n] Is there away to do this with sapply method? thanks, Ron

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 All, I try to test the neural network package AMORE, I normalized my data first, the input data is X [x1,x2,x3] where x1,x2,x3 each is 100 row 1 column vector. the output data Y is 100 row 1 column vector. my network has neurons=c(3,2,2,1) which 2 hidden layers, 3 node in the input layer while 1 in the output layer. Once the network is trained. I use sim (result$net, z) to

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

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 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

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

Is there any function in AMORE switching output into logistical or linear one, like linout=TRUE in nnet. Please give me some help, thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Logistical-or-Linear-Output-in-AMORE-tp4302187p4302187.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

HI, Dear R community, I am using the nnet to fit a neural network model to do classification on binary target variable (0, 1). I am using the following codes: nnet.fit<-nnet(as.factor(out) ~ ., data=train, size=5, rang=0.3, decay=5e-4, maxit=500) I want to know what is the activation function for the original inputs, is it sigmoid activation function? and what is the output activation

I'm trying to use nls() to fit an exponential decay with an unknown offset in the time (independent variable). (Perhaps this is inherently very difficult?). > decay.pl <- nls (amp ~ expn(b0,b1,tau,t0,t), data = decay, + start = c(b0=1, b1=7.5, tau=3.5, t0=0.1), trace=T) Error in nlsModel(formula, mf, start) : singular gradient matrix at initial parameter estimates

Hi R-helpers, Can some one tell me how to train 'mynn' of this type?: mynn <- nnet(y ~ x1 + ..+ x8, data = lgist, size = 2, rang = 0.1, decay = 5e-4, maxit = 200) I assume that this nn is untrained, and to train I have to split the original data into train:test data set, do leave-one-out refitting to refine the weights (please straighten this up if I was wrong). I just don't know

Installing the package AMORE, in the software R, where I will be able to obtain the folder of the source coding, in way the add code in the function deltaE. Nuno Vale [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings all, So, I''ve finally found a place to play around with the Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater. In looking at the API, I''m liking the decay option -- not necessarily for my current purpose, but just to keep in mind -- and I have a question: can the decay be a function which returns an integer? Basically, why I''m looking for is a logarithmic decay (where the system

Hi, I am new to R. I am trying to plot the decay of a population over time (0-50yrs). I have the initial population value (5000) and the mortality rate (0.26/yr) and I can't figure out how to apply this so I get a remaining population value each year. In excel (ignoring headings) I would put 5000 in A1, in B2 I would enter the formula A1*0.26, and then in A2 (the next years population) I

I finally got (mostly) what I wanted. In an attempt to figure out how to get nls to deal with a non-differentiable function, I had (stupidly) 'simplified' the problem until it became singular. Can I do something to make optim() less sensitive to my initial guess? For this example, I get a lousy solution if I make the initial guess for t0 = min(t) = 0.05. Thanks again, -- Robert Merithew
