A Comparison of Some Error Estimates for Neural Network Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a number of methods for estimating the standard error of predicted values from a multi-layer perceptron. These methods include the delta method based on the Hessian, bootstrap estimators, and the \sandwich" estimator. The methods are described and compared in a number of examples. We nd that the bootstrap methods perform best, partly because they capture variability due to the choice of starting weights.

This paper has two aims. The first is forecasting inflation in Iran using Macroeconomic variables data in Iran (Inflation rate, liquidity, GDP, prices of imported goods and exchange rates) , and the second is comparing the performance of forecasting vector auto regression (VAR), Bayesian Vector-Autoregressive (BVAR), GARCH, time series and neural network models by which Iran's inflation is for...
متن کاملComparison of Artificial Neural Network and Multiple Regression Analysis for Prediction of Fat Tail Weight of Sheep
A comparative study of artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple regression is made to predict the fat tail weight of Balouchi sheep from birth, weaning and finishing weights. A multilayer feed forward network with back propagation of error learning mechanism was used to predict the sheep body weight. The data (69 records) were randomly divided into two subsets. The first subset is the train...
متن کاملComparison of Efficiency for Hydrological Models (AWBM & SimHyd) and Neural Network (MLP & RBF) in Rainfall–Runoff Simulation (Case study: Bar Aryeh Watershed -Neyshabur)
For suitable programming and management of water resources, access to perfect information from the discharge at the watershed outlet is essential. In most watersheds, the hydrometric station is not available; then, different models are used to simulate the discharge within watersheds without data. The selection of preferred model for rainfall- runoff simulation depends to the purpose of modelin...
