In this example we will be testing Neuroph 2.4 with Hayes-Roth Data Set , which can be found : here. Several architectures will be tried out, and it will be determined which ones represent a good solution to the problem, and which ones do not.
First here are some useful information about our Hayes-Roth Data Set:
Data Set Characteristics: Multivariate
Number of Instances: 160
Attribute Characteristics: Categorical
Number of Attributes: 5
Associated Tasks: Classification
Introducing the problem
This database contains 5 numeric-valued attributes. Only a subset of 3 are used during testing (the latter 3)l.
Some instances could be placed in either category 0 or 1. I've followed the authors' suggestion, placing them in each category with equal probability. I've replaced the actual values of the attributes (i.e., hobby has values chess, sports and stamps) with numeric values. I think this is how the authors' did this when testing the categorization models described in the paper. I find this unfair. While the subjects were able to bring background knowledge to bear on the attribute values and their relationships, the algorithms were provided with no such knowledge. I'm uncertain whether the 2 distractor attributes (name and hobby) are presented to the authors' algorithms during testing. However, it is clear that only the age, educational status, and marital status attributes are given during the human subjects' transfer tests.
