“…Different models were prepared varying the net size, i.e. the a Assessed with NIR spectroscopy using internal calibration models (Prevolnik, Škrlep, et al, 2011) number of neurons in x and y direction (8 × 8, 10 × 10 and 12 × 12) and number of epochs (10, 30, 50, 70, 100, 150, 200 and 300), while the other net parameters remained constant (no toroid boundary conditions, triangular type of neighbourhood correction, minimal and maximal learning rates 0.01 and 0.5, respectively). In this step of analysis, besides the input variables (262 spectral data points), the target or output variables were also needed.…”
