Hello all,

I would like to know whether there exists any way to calculate the AIC or the BIC criteria for a nnet object (not only in the multinomial case). Commands like stepAIC, AIC or extractAIC do not work with a feed forward neural net and I cannot find any command that deals with nnet objects.

They are not defined for most nnet fits -- they need a maximized likelihood, and no neural-net fitting package gives you that.


Best
