Raji, you first need to tell us what kind of accuracy you mean. The term accuracy has different meanings in different areas of science. However, in classification it usually refers to something along the line number of correctly predicted samples / total number of samples (possibly weighted ac

Hi R-Helpers , am working on nnet package.Multinom() has an option for finding the goodness of fit by giving the AIC value. Does nnet also gives some value to determine the accuracy. If not, can you guide me with some procedure to figure out the accuracy/goodness of fit of nnet model? Thanks in a
