No 97-123/4, Tinbergen Institute Discussion Papers from Tinbergen Institute

Abstract: A major problem in applying neural networks is specifying the sizeof the network. Even for moderately sized networks the number ofparameters may become large compared to the number of data. In thispaper network performance is examined while reducing the size of thenetwork through the use of multiple correlation coefficients andgraphical analysis of network output per hidden layer cell andinput layer cell.
