Neuroet: An easy-to-use artificial neural network for ecological and biological modeling

摘要: Neuroet is an easy-to-use artificial neural network (NN) package designed to assist with determining relationships among variables in complex ecological and biological systems. The package, which available for download from the web site http://noble.ce. washington.edu, features a procedure optimize architecture of NNs by adjusting number neurons hidden layer, novel identify input variable, or combinations variables, that is/are important predicting outputs. also includes method extract equations defining data (independent NN package). performance was assessed using benchmark standards NNs. An example program’s utility provided environmental set.
