A whole lot of things are encompassed by 'neural nets' and some of them are varieties of regression. Find the neural-nets FAQ by Sarle, and read it. Google gives me - ... comp.ai.neural-nets FAQ, Part 1 of 7: Introduction Maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Warren S. Sarle) FAQ Home Page: ftp://ftp.sas.com/pub/neural/FAQ.html Last ... www.faqs.org/faqs/ai-faq/neural-nets/ - 7k - May 4, 2004 - Cached - Similar pages If you still have a question, I expect you will get more responses if you post to the neural-nets newsgroup, if there is one. My ISP has 67000 groups listed, but not that one. There were several groups that appeared to be local neural-nets groups. Hope this helps. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
