Thanks to answer Matthew. I hope that there is some function because to do all that by hand with so many variables it can be horrible. In addition, how it would make to see those that are not correlated and those that yes. Which is the threshold to decide one or another thing? _Fede_ Matthew Ba

Hi Fede, You would have to eliminate the variables less correlated with the response variable. And for the explanatory variables to choose those that are very correlated to each other. I don't know if exists some function of R that does this by you. Mathew Barber _Fede_ wrote: > > Hi folks,

Hi folks, I want to apply a neural network to a data set to classify the observations in the different classes from a concrete response variable. The idea is to prove different models from network modifying the number of neurons of the hidden layer to control overfitting. But, to select the best
