Abstract:
========================================================
We present examples of the use of basic Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for introductory Statistics classes at the undergraduate, major and first year graduate classes. Because of the available packages in R, ANNs are easily included in the discussion of Statistics classes as alternative methods to logistic regression and linear regression.

With the increases in computational power (parallel computation on CPUs, parallel computation on GPUs, TPUs, and NPUs, and with increases in RAM) Deep Learning has become possible.  With the newer packages in R to connect to h2O, tensorflow, and keras, implementing Deep Learning is possible.

We present examples for running ANNs and Deep Learning in Statistics classes with discussion of the similarities and differences between traditional Statistical Methods and Deep Learning.
