Estimating the Significance of Computer Model Factors Based on a Simple Neural Network by Volodymyr Pepelyaev, Nataliia Oriekhova, Ihor Lukyanov

“…The proposed algorithm based on a simple neural network allows to correctly and quickly determine insignificant factors in a set of initial populations for the study of MGA, containing from 8 to 10 populations (250 - 300 samples). Since the initial weights of the neural network are chosen randomly, the results of different runs on the same set of data are slightly different. …”
