Abstract
Deep neural networks have a wide range of applications in data science. This paper reviews neural network modeling algorithms and their applications in both supervised and unsupervised learning. Key examples include: (i) binary classification and (ii) nonparametric regression function estimation, both implemented with feedforward neural networks ($\mathrm{FNN}$); (iii) sequential data prediction using long short-term memory ($\mathrm{LSTM}$) networks; and (iv) image classification using convolutional neural networks ($\mathrm{CNN}$). All implementations are provided in $\mathrm{MATLAB}$, making these methods accessible to statisticians and data scientists to support learning and practical application.
