cadence.initialize function

Initialize a CDEN weight vector

Random initialization of the weight vector used during fitting of the CDEN model.

cadence.initialize(x, n.hidden, init.range, distribution)

Arguments

• x: matrix with number of rows equal to the number of samples and number of columns equal to the number of predictors.
• n.hidden: number of hidden nodes in the CDEN model.
• init.range: range for random weights on [min(init.range), max(init.range)]
• distribution: list used to specify the predictand distribution
