Is there a kind of package in R for this? Is the "AMORE" package a possible surrogate for Matlab's Neural Network Toolbox? Thanks.

A:
the library packagennet offers a lot of functionality for neural networks. Alternatively, there is also neural for MLP and RBF networks. See also www.rseek.org
edit : for multilayer networks, AMORE is the way to go.

Joris gets an honorary Martin Maechler award for that.

@Dirk: a clear case of fortune("library"). Thx for the award ;-)

@Joris: thanks, I'm still studying neural network, and found that nnet only support single hidden layer, will it be a big issue? Actually I am trying to do some forecasting in stock price, and saw someone using Matlab, so wondering if R can also do similar stuff.

@lokheart: true. Didn't know you wanted multilayer networks specifically. For that, you'll need indeed amore, but I have no experience with that package.
