However, many neural network applications in the social sciences are flawed in ways that obfuscate such effects. In this article, the neural network methodology is reviewed, some common flaws are pointed out, and a rather commonplace data set—dealing with school delinquency—is analyzed for illustrative purposes.en-USResearch Article10.1177/0049124100028004002false
