Abstract

NeuroShell is a neural network authoring system which can handle unlimited size files (up to available disk space). Histograms are printed during the training process. The package handles either dichotomous or continuous (analog) data; two versions of the program are supplied for these two types of data. Nine sample data problems are supplied, reflecting both types of data: Leaders, Animals, Helper, Credit and Hiring (dichotomous) and Stocks Lines, Hidnodes, & Baseball (continuous). Online help is available through the F1 function key.
