Figure 1From: Artificial neural network approach for selection of susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms and construction of prediction model on childhood allergic asthmaStructure of ANN. For the analysis of 25 SNPs, 50 input layer units were provided. The number of hidden layer units was changed from the usual 6 to 10, to optimize the ANN for the highest possible prediction accuracy. The output layer had only 1 unit. Because the ANN model has connection weight parameters, which depend on the number of connection units, analysis of 25 SNPs with 6 hidden layer units requires 306 connection weight parameters.Back to article page
