The Neural Networks technique as shown in our multivariate analysis framework in Figure 9.1 is one of the dependence techniques. Neural networks were originally developed to understand biological neural networks and were specifically studied by artificial intelligence researchers to allow computers to develop the ability to learn. In the past 25 years, neural networks have been successfully applied to a wide variety of problems, including predicting the solvency of mortgage applicants, detecting credit ...
