Abstract
There has been much publicity about the ability of artificial neural networks to learn and generalize. In fact, the most commonly used artificial neural networks, called multilayer perceptrons, are nothing more than nonlinear regression and discriminant models that can be implemented with standard statistical software. This paper explains what neural networks are, translates neural network jargon into statistical jargon, and shows the relationships between neural networks and statistical models such as generalized linear models, maximum redundancy analysis, projection pursuit, and cluster analysis.
