Training a neural network with nnet
The nnet
package is another package that can deal with artificial neural networks. This package provides the functionality to train feed-forward neural networks with traditional back propagation. As you can find most of the neural network function implemented in the neuralnet
package, in this recipe we provide a short overview of how to train neural networks with nnet
.
Getting ready
In this recipe, we do not use the trainset
and trainset
generated from the previous step; please reload the iris
dataset again.
How to do it...
Perform the following steps to train the neural network with nnet
:
- First, install and load the
nnet
package:> install.packages("nnet") > library(nnet)
- Next, split the dataset into training and ...
