##### Tuning Functional Neural Networks

A convenience function for the user that implements a simple grid search for the purpose of tuning. For each combination in the grid, a cross-validated error is calculated. The best combination is returned along with additional information. This function only works for scalar responses.

##### Usage
fnn.tune(
tune_list,
resp,
func_cov,
scalar_cov = NULL,
basis_choice,
domain_range,
batch_size = 32,
decay_rate = 0,
nfolds = 5,
cores = 4,
raw_data = FALSE
)
##### Arguments
tune_list

This is a list object containing the values from which to develop the grid. For each of the hyperparameters that can be tuned for (num_hidden_layers, neurons, epochs, val_split, patience, learn_rate, num_basis, activation_choice), the user inputs a set of values to try. Note that the combinations are found based on the number of hidden layers. For example, if num_hidden_layers = 3 and neurons = c(8, 16), then the combinations will begin as c(8, 8, 8), c(8, 8, 16), ..., c(16, 16, 16). Example provided below.

resp

For scalar responses, this is a vector of the observed dependent variable. For functional responses, this is a matrix where each row contains the basis coefficients defining the functional response (for each observation).

func_cov

The form of this depends on whether the raw_data argument is true or not. If true, then this is a list of k matrices. The dimensionality of the matrices should be the same (n x p) where n is the number of observations and p is the number of longitudinal observations. If raw_data is false, then the input should be a tensor with dimensionality b x n x k where b is the number of basis functions used to define the functional covariates, n is the number of observations, and k is the number of functional covariates.

scalar_cov

A matrix contained the multivariate information associated with the data set. This is all of your non-longitudinal data.

basis_choice

A vector of size k (the number of functional covariates) with either "fourier" or "bspline" as the inputs. This is the choice for the basis functions used for the functional weight expansion. If you only specify one, with k > 1, then the argument will repeat that choice for all k functional covariates.

domain_range

List of size k. Each element of the list is a 2-dimensional vector containing the upper and lower bounds of the k-th functional weight.

batch_size

Size of the batch for stochastic gradient descent.

decay_rate

A modification to the learning rate that decreases the learning rate as more and more learning iterations are completed.

nfolds

The number of folds to be used in the cross-validation process.

cores

For the purpose of parallelization.

raw_data

If TRUE, then user does not need to create functional observations beforehand. The function will internally take care of that pre-processing.

##### Value

The following are returned:

Parameters -- The final list of hyperparameter chosen by the tuning process.

All_Information -- A list object containing the errors for every combination in the grid. Each element of the list corresponds to a different choice of number of hidden layers.

Best_Per_Layer -- An object that returns the best parameter combination for each choice of hidden layers.

Grid_List -- An object containing information about all combinations tried by the tuning process.
