can we apply it in a model having a mediating variable?

Dear Sir, why did it appear when I was doing ANN with SPSS? "cannot be computed. the dependent variable may be constant in the testing sample."

4.15 dear sir, if we want to test demographic in ANN, and we have income level and education level as our demographic factors, what panel should we "arrow-in" among "Factors" or "Coviarates"? thanks.

Dear SIr, certain empirical papers also reported the R-square in their ANN discussion, how the R-square is calculated?(note: not the R-square found in PLS SEM result)

[@rbsbusinessresearchacademy3865]

ANN, by using latent variable scores (taken from SmartPLS), does not produce R. However SmartPLS provides value of R Square. You can find R sqaure formula from Google.

@@rbsbusinessresearchacademy3865 dear sir, the R-square is reported in sensitivity analysis table. What's the formula used to calculate the R-square for ANN? secondly, are both R-squares from Pls and Ann carries the similar meanings?

11:22 mistake found. RMSE for training should be Sqrt of SSE divided by N
