Abstract

Neural network has strong ability of nonlinear approximation and fitting, which was widely used in various prognosis prediction researches. Meanwhile, the selection of neural network input parameters was very important: the number of input layer nodes would increase as the number of input parameters and it required a large number of sample data to train the neural network, which was very easy to cause the dimension disaster. Otherwise, the sample data and the local extremums in the process of convergence would decrease as the number of input parameters, which could simplify the topology of the neural network prediction model greatly. In this paper, we used association rules based on data mining to select input parameters of the neural network prediction model of cervical spinal cord injury and reduced its dimensionality from 25 to 7. Finally, the good performance is proved through the simulation results using MATLAB.
