Question
A hospital manager wants to predict how many
beds will be needed in the geriatric ward. He
asks you to design a neural network method for
making this prediction. He has data for the last 5
years that cover:
• The number of people in the geriatric ward
each week.
• The weather (average day and night
temperatures).
• The season of the year (spring, summer,
autumn, winter).
• Whether or not there was an epidemic on (use
a binary variable: yes or no).
Design a suitable MLP for this problem,
considering how you would choose the number
of hidden neurons, the inputs (and whether
there are any other inputs you need) and the
preprocessing, and whether or not you would
expect the system to work.
