The success of this approach has raised interesting new possibilities of incorporating statistical methodology in order to enhance their predictive ability. This paper reports on two complementary methods of prediction. one using neural networks and the other using traditional statistical methods. The two methods are compared on the basis of their prediction applied to standardized developmental infant outcome measures using preselected infant and maternal variables measured at birth. Three neural network algorithms were employed. In our study, no one network outperformed the other two consistently. The neural networks provided significantly better results than the regression model in terms of variation and prediction of extreme outcomes. Finally we demonstrated that selection of relevant input variables through statistical means can produce a reduced network structure with no loss in predictive ability.</p>","PeriodicalId":72662,"journal":{"name":"Computational medicine, public health, and biotechnology : building a man in the machine","volume":"5 3","pages":"1469-1487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4549002/pdf/nihms-632653.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9851373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
