A Neural Network Approach to the Classification of Autism.
Cohen, Ira L.; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v23 n3 p443-66 Sep 1993
Neural network technology was compared with simultaneous and stepwise linear discriminant analysis in terms of their ability to classify and predict persons (n=138) as having autism or mental retardation. The neural network methodology was superior in both classifying groups and in generalizing to new cases that were not part of the training sample. (Author/JDD)
