similar to: find the important inputs to the neural network model in "nnet" package

Hi, I have a binary variable and corresponding predicted probability (using logistic regression on some explanatoey variables); I want to check that the model is well-calibrated using a calibration plot. how can I have the calibration plot for my data? thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

I am new to R and use nnetTs - calls. If a time series of let's say 80000 Datapoints and did call nnetTs I want make a new net for the old ponts plus the next 1000 points (81000 datapoints total) what would again cost much calculation time. So I want to pre-init the new net with the former wonnen net to reduce the necessary iteration numbers. Is thee a possibility to do that and how? i.e.:

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

Hello there, I'm back again with another question about the neural network package. I'm having trouble getting the network to run for the maximum number of iterations. It always stops early, usually after 100 iterations claiming to have converged at an answer. Now, for my purposes I want it to run for the entire number of epochs, and I'm been looking at modifying the abstol

can u explain me, how it works your code??? please. i´m also doing a simple perceptron for homework on R and i dont know where to start. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello R-Users, I have been using (nnet) by Ripley to train a neural net on a test dataset, I have obtained predictions for a validtion dataset using: PP<-predict(nnetobject,validationdata) Using PP I can find the -2 log likelihood for the validation datset. However what I really want to know is how well my nueral net is doing at classifying my binary output variable. I am new to R and I

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 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

Dear R users, I have been playing with the nnet and predict.nnet functions and have two questions. 1) Is it possible to specify a validation set as well as a training set in the nnet function before using predict.nnet to test the nnet object against new data? 2) Is it possible to specify more than one layer of neurons? Thanks in advance Matt Oliver

Hello all, Ive been playing with nnet (package 'nnet') and Ive come across this problem. nnet doesnt seems to like to have more than 1000 weights. If I do: > data(iris) > names(iris)[5] <- "species" > net <- nnet(species ~ ., data=iris, size=124, maxit=10) # weights: 995 initial value 309.342009 iter 10 value 21.668435 final value 21.668435 stopped after 10

Hi, I am an old hand at chemistry but a complete beginner at statistics including R computations. My question is whether you can carry out nonlinear multivariate regression analysis in R using neural networks, where the output variable can range from -Inf to + Inf., unlike discriminant analysis where the output is confined to one or zero. The library nnet seems to work only in the latter

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]]

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

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 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

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,

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

I want to create a neural network, and then everytime it receives new data, instead of creating a new nnet, i want to use a backpropagation algorithm to adjust the weights in the already created nn. I'm using nnet package, I know that nn$wts gives the weights, but I cant find out which weights belong to which conections so I could implement the backpropagation algorithm myself. But if anyone
