Hi R-Helpers , am working on nnet package.Multinom() has an option for finding the goodness of fit by giving the AIC value. Does nnet also gives some value to determine the accuracy. If not, can you guide me with some procedure to figure out the accuracy/goodness of fit of nnet model? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context:

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, 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) :

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

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

Dear List, I am trying to solve a problem by the neural network method(library: nnet). The problem is to express Weight in terms of Age , Sex and Height for twenty people. The data frame consists of 20 observations with four variables: Sex, Age, Height and Weight. Sex is treated as a factor, Age and Weight are variables normalized to unity, as usual. I wanted to construct a neural network, and so

Hi, I was trying to use the nnet library and am not sure of whats going on. I am calling the nnet function as: n <- nnet(x,y,size=3,subset=sets[[1]], maxit=200) Where x is a 272x4 matrix of observations (examples) and y is a 272x1 matrix of target values. However when I look at nnet$residuals they are off by two orders of magnitude (compared to the output from neural network code that I

Hi, I am trying to determine the number of units in the hidden layer and the decay rate using the CVnn2 script found in MASS directory (reference: pg 348,MASS-4). The model that I am using is in the form of Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3... + X11 and the underlying data is time-series in nature. I found the MASS and nnet package extremely useful (many thanks to the contributors). However I am getting

Hi, I am trying to make a neural network learning a "noisy sine wave". Suppose I generate my data like so.. x <- seq(-2*pi, 2*pi, length=500) y <- sin(x) + rnorm(500, sd=sqrt(0.075)) I then train the neural net on the first 400 points using c <- nnet(as.matrix(x[1:400]),as.matrix(y[1:400]), size=3, maxit=10000, abstol=0.075, decay=0.007) Inspecting the fit of the training

Dear All, I'm learning to train a neural network with my training data by using nnet package, then evaluate it with a evaluation set. My problem here is that, I need the trained network to be used in future, so, what should I store? and How? Any other options other than nnet package? Any example will be highly appreciated! Best, Baoqiang Cao

Hello, I use nnet to do prediction for a continuous variable. after that, I calculate correlation coefficient between predicted value and real observation. I run my code(see following) several time, but I get different correlation coefficient each time. Anyone know why? In addition, How to calculate prediction accuracy for prediction of continuous variable? Aimin thanks, > m.nn.omega

Hi, I use nnet for my classification problem and have a problem concerning the calculation of the final value for my validation data.(nnet only calculates the final value for the training data). I made my own final value formula (for the training data I get the same value as nnet): # prob-matrix pmatrix <- cat*fittedValues tmp <- rowSums(pmatrix) # -log likelihood

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

Dear all, Objective: I am trying to learn about neural networks. I want to see if i can train an artificial neural network model to discriminate between spam and nonspam emails. Problem: I created my own model (example 1 below) and got an error of about 7.7%. I created the same model using the Rattle package (example 2 below, based on rattles log script) and got a much better error of about

Hi everyone, According to R reference manual, the nnet function uses the BFGS method of optim to optimize the neural network parameters. I would like, when calling the function nnet to tell the optim function not to produce the tracing information on the progress of the optimization, or at least to reduce the frequency of the reports. I tried the following: a) nnet default > x<-rnorm(20)

I'm trying to build forecasting equation from weights of 2-2-1 neural net. Running the nnet function gives me a vecto of 9 weights, but I don't know how to build the equation form these values. Can anyone advice? Or at least tell me where the nnet output is described in details (the manual only gives a brief description). Thanks.
