Step 1: Define a cross-entropy function activation

When using a neural network to perform classification and prediction, it is usually better to use cross-entropy error than classification error, and somewhat better to use cross-entropy error than mean squared error to evaluate the quality of the neural network.

Step 2: Add cost functions for each target state.

Step 3: Evaluated the distance error metric.

Spearman's rank correlation coefficient assesses how well the relationship between two variables can be described using a monotonic function.

Note: Both Spearman's and Kendall's can be formulated as special cases of a more general correlation coefficient, and they are both appropriate in this scenario.

Scenario: The MedianValue and AvgRoomsInHouse columns both hold data in numeric format. You need to select a feature selection algorithm to analyze the relationship between the two columns in more detail.
