Hey John,
For multiple outputs, the SAS neural network will sum 2*-log likelihood calculated for each target, and then multiple the net of that by 2*number of model parameters.
If you’re using the fit statistics, then you would sum(_ERR_ target1 +……+_ERR_ targetk )+2*_DFM_.
I haven’t found any documentation mentioning this. However, I tested this twice to make sure I could match the AIC for the overall model. Once using a neural network to model two binary targets, and then again using a neural network modeling a binary and a multinomial target.
Good questions. Keep them coming!
Best,
Robert
