Hi Georg, I am new to R and I am curious if there is a simple way to do the feature selection you described:
"feature selection is essentially an exhaustive approach which tries every possible subset of your predictors, trains a network and sees what the prediction error is. The subset which is best (lowest error) is then chosen in the end. It normally (as a side-effect) also gives you something like an importance ranking of the variables when using backward or forward feature selection. But be careful of interactions between variables. " Is it an option with nnet or should I use leaps in conjunction with nnet ?
