Dear all; I have run a neural network to predict a variable according to 3 independent variables. I used "neuralnet" package and the codes were: " > met = read.csv("./met.csv",header = TRUE, sep = ",") > attach(met) > head(met) > met2 = met > str(met2) 'data.frame': 211362 obs. of 4 variables: $ t : num 14.9 13.9 16.3 16 13.4 ... $ rrr24: num NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA ... $ sshn : num NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA ... $ u : num 56.9 67.5 87.1 88.6 82 ... > met2 = na.omit(met2) > dim(met2) [1] 130765 4
> set.seed(7896129) > test_met <- read.csv("./test_met.csv",header = TRUE, sep = ",") > attach(test_met) > head(test_met) > test_met = na.omit(test_met) > dim(test_met) [1] 73778 4 > n2 <- neuralnet(u ~ t + rrr24 + sshn, data = met2, hidden = 4, err.fct = "sse", linear.output = TRUE, lifesign = 'full', rep = 1, algorithm = "rprop+", stepmax = 100000, threshold = 0.01 ) hidden: 4 thresh: 0.01 rep: 1/1 steps: 138 error: 30691876.99866 time: 6.35 secs > n2$result.matrix [,1] error 3.069188e+07 reached.threshold 8.661171e-03 steps 1.380000e+02 Intercept.to.1layhid1 1.391861e+01 t.to.1layhid1 2.917817e+00 rrr24.to.1layhid1 1.272637e+01 sshn.to.1layhid1 1.302440e+01 Intercept.to.1layhid2 1.418934e+01 t.to.1layhid2 3.010978e+00 rrr24.to.1layhid2 1.453077e+01 sshn.to.1layhid2 1.373876e+01 Intercept.to.1layhid3 1.458518e+01 t.to.1layhid3 3.028105e+00 rrr24.to.1layhid3 1.315952e+01 sshn.to.1layhid3 1.390079e+01 Intercept.to.1layhid4 1.255582e+01 t.to.1layhid4 2.520585e+00 rrr24.to.1layhid4 1.223544e+01 sshn.to.1layhid4 1.146831e+01 Intercept.to.u 8.018417e+00 1layhid1.to.u 8.222817e+00 1layhid2.to.u 8.355812e+00 1layhid3.to.u 9.095662e+00 1layhid4.to.u 8.024959e+00 > results_met <- neuralnet::compute(n2, test_met[,1:3]) " I am confused why the error is so high ( 3.069188e+07). Is it a problem regarding my codes? Is the prediction made by this neural network accurate? Sincerely -- Best Regards Javad Bayat M.Sc.
