CHANGES IN HANN VERSION 1.2 NEW FEATURES o The new function combine() makes predictions combining several neural networks possibly optimized with different classes. o The new function tune.hann() helps to choose the hyperparameters (number of hidden neurons and slope of the activation function). o The new function hann() is a wrapper for all types of neural nets. The new class "hann" has 'secondary' classes "hann1" or "hann3". There are several new methods: summary(), plot(), coef(), fitted(), str(), and labels(). o The optimized networks now include an element $fitted with the final signals, and an element $labels with the labels of the input classes (particularly useful for combine()). o The new function binarize() helps to prepare the binary patterns from vectors or matrices of numeric values (e.g., read from image files). BUG FIXES o A bug has been fixed in the calculations of gradients of hann3() so convergence should be improved and faster. o The internal code used to allocate new memory at each iteration: this is fixed. OTHER CHANGES o The internal code of hann3() has been optimised so it should be at least twice faster. CHANGES IN HANN VERSION 1.1 o Included R_NO_REMAP in prototype_7.c. CHANGES IN HANN VERSION 1.0 o Initial release on CRAN. CHANGES IN HANN VERSION 0.1 o Initial release on GitHub.
