Any recommendations for "simple to learn & use" neural-network programs
for projecting net-sales for a small-business?

Thanks
 
a demo version of ALUDA Neurointelligence sofware is good for easy use.
the size of pack is very small. and easy to use.

best wishes,

Ganges.

Hello,

EasyNN.com is my site but it's currently down. It will be back soon.

The application is called EasyNN-plus

OK, we're back online. Sorry for the delay. Support by email is free

1/ I looked into the www.dmoz.org entries and found
http://www.geocities.com/adotsaha/NNinExcel.html
an excel application

2/ This is not exactly what you intended but it may help: Tanagra, a
free data mining program:

3/ If not, I guess EasyNN is quite ok. You can't complain for a free
trial and 50$ for a neural network program. Of you compare this with
industry prices ... I guess the most important investment is the
understanding of the process and the preparing of the data (as always in
stats).

4/ If not: did you look at sourceforge ? I found with Google
http://freshmeat.net/projects/fann/


Fast Artificial Neural Network Library implements multilayer artificial
neural networks in C with support for both fully connected and sparsely
connected networks. Cross-platform execution in both fixed and floating
point are supported. It includes a framework for easy handling of
training data sets. It is easy to use, versatile, well documented, and
fast. C++, PHP, Python, Delphi, .NET, and Mathematica bindings are
available. A graphical interface is also available.

Development status: stable

I think in some of these solutions you'll find your luck

Are your sales seasonal or are you in a period of strong
growth/decline?

If you are going gangbusters and expect record sales then you need to
becareful of extrapolation into the unknown.

The neural net software 'Tiberius' was specifically developed for time
series forecasting. There are many visualisation tools - you will find
that 1 picture can tell you much more than any mathematical algorithm.
There are also options to 'cap' inputs to within the range experienced
during the model building phase.

If you look at the screen shots on my web page then you'll get an idea
of what to expect. It is also imortant to understand how to best code
the data for seasonality. You'll find some reading on this also on my
site.

You are more than welcome to a 3 month fully functioning evaluation
licence if you want to check it out.
