Let's load up the libraries that we need. We are going to use the neuralnet package. The neuralnet package is a flexible package that is created for the training of neural networks using the backpropagation method. We discussed the backpropagation method previously in this chapter.
Let's install the package using the following command:
install.packages("neuralnet")
Now, let's load the library:
