Hi,

Is it possible to change output layer coding in Neural Net model? Currently coding is one neuron is one class. Is it possible to change it somehow to binary coding? If yes how can i do that?

    Hi,

    if your training data contains a binary label then the output of the Neural Net will be a binominal attribute. The underlying net cannot be changed, but why do you want to do it?

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have three classes in my data and as far as i know it can be correctly calculated with only two neurons (binary):

    Class 1
    N1: 1
    N2: 0

    Class 2:
    N1: 0
    N2: 1

    Class 3:
    N1: 1
    N2: 1

    Is there any way i can manage to do that?
