Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.5K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Neural Regulation01:37

Neural Regulation

43.4K
Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Network Function of a Circuit01:25

Network Function of a Circuit

717
Frequency response analysis in electrical circuits provides vital insights into a circuit's behavior as the frequency of the input signal changes. The transfer function, a mathematical tool, is instrumental in understanding this behavior. It defines the relationship between phasor output and input and comes in four types: voltage gain, current gain, transfer impedance, and transfer admittance. The critical components of the transfer function are the poles and zeros.

Area of Science:

  • Machine Learning
  • Computational Statistics
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Supervised neural networks are powerful for pattern identification but often criticized for their 'black box' nature, hindering variable relationship interpretation.
  • Existing methods for illuminating these models lack open-source implementation, limiting their accessibility and widespread use in the R environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the NeuralNetTools package, an open-source R tool designed for the interpretation of supervised neural network models.
  • To provide functions for visualizing neural network models, evaluating variable importance, and performing sensitivity analyses.

Main Methods:

  • The NeuralNetTools package offers functions to generate neural network interpretation diagrams.
  • It includes methods for disaggregating model weights to evaluate variable importance.
  • Sensitivity analysis of response variables to input variable changes is supported.

Main Results:

  • The package is compatible with popular R neural network packages such as caret, neuralnet, nnet, and RSNNS.
  • It provides a comprehensive toolset for understanding complex supervised neural network models.
  • The package facilitates data-intensive exploration by complementing existing quantitative techniques.

Conclusions:

  • NeuralNetTools enhances the interpretability of supervised neural networks within the R programming environment.
  • The package democratizes access to model interpretation techniques, previously unavailable in open-source formats.
