Introduction to neuralnet and Evaluation Methods

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

• Use a neural network to solve a classification problem by using the neuralnet package.
• Create balanced partitions from a dataset, while decreasing leakage, with the groupdata2 package.
• Evaluate and select between models using cross-validation.
• Explain the concept of multiclass classification.

In this chapter, we aim to equip you with a practical understanding of neural networks.
