Introduction This post continues my blog series on Neural Networks and Deep Learning with (an) R (twist), which is motivated by my current enrollment in Andrew Ng’s Deep Learning Specialisation on Coursera. One of the very first things I picked in this course is that the familiar logistic regression classifiers can be seen as a neural network. In fact it turns out that the logistic regression classifier is a good example to illustrate and motivate the basics of neural …
