Product Description

This book provides the first accessible introduction to neural network analysis as a methodological strategy for social scientists. The author details numerous studies and examples which illustrate the advantages of neural network analysis over other quantitative and modeling methods in widespread use. Methods are presented in an accessible style for readers who do not have a background in computer science. The book provides a history of neural network methods, a substantial review of the literature, detailed applications, coverage of the most common alternative models and examples of two leading software packages for neural network analysis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but good, June 14, 2001
By A Customer
This is a short but very clear and very detailed book. It gives most of the techniques and the concepts to understand neural networks. it was my first introduction to the topic and since then I have been able to read more advanced texts and papers. I would say that this is the ideal entry point to the topic as well as an interesting book for the general reader willing to have a general overview of the field
