Weight-elimination neural networks applied to coronary surgery mortality prediction.

Weight-elimination neural networks applied to coronary surgery mortality prediction.

The objective was to assess the effectiveness of the weight-elimination cost function in improving classification performance of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and to observe how changing the a priori distribution of the training set affects network performance. Backpropagation feedforward ANNs w...
