I've seen that there are four neural net packages in R:

  • neural
  • neuralnet
  • nnet
  • RSNNS
  • H2O

What are the advantages/disadvantages of those compared with each other?

As I found out NeuralNetTools only provides additional tools.

    $\begingroup$ I would also add h2o's deeplearning to the list. It's one of the most powerful implementations of NNets accessible from R. And I think it scales up really well. $\endgroup$

take a look at these blogs- R for Deep Learning - 1 and R for Deep Learning - 2.

Hope it helps!

    $\begingroup$ Not the most in-depth analysis of the packages themselves, but +1 for some information at least :-). I got the a little the impression the take away is "everything sucks", but maybe I am over-critical. $\endgroup$
