Hello all,
inspired by the distinct lack of ML tools for Stata, I have developed a Neural Network ado module called "brain".
You can download it from my GitHub page
https://github.com/ThorstenDoherr/brain
Click green "Clone or Download" button -> Download Zip
Copy the brain.ado, brain.sthlp, brainwin.plugin, brainunix.plugin and brainmac.plugin into your ADO directory (typically c:\ado). The plugin directory contains the source code for the plugins and a project directory for Visual Studio. If you are further interested in plugins please consult the Stata documentation: https://www.stata.com/plugins/
I have already promoted this tool in an older post (https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...neural-network) so I spare you the details.
This recent version uses C plugins and multiprocessing and is comparable with the python implementations in functionality and speed but with a distinct Stata flavor in terms of usability.
Those plugins are the reason why I address the community:
The Unix and Mac plugins have not yet been tested because I don't have access to those Stata versions. They were blindly compiled using the mingw (cygwin) compiler on Windows with (hopefully) the appropriate settings. I really would appreciate it, if somebody with access to one of those OS could give me feedback about the functionality of the plugins. The help file of the command contains an ample amount of runnable examples for this purpose. The Windows plugin is tested and functional.
If the Unix and Max plugins turn out to be fine, I will upload the module to the ssc repository to replace the old, slow version.
Thank you,
Thorsten
