To the best of my knowledge, ‘affect’...Hello Mike,<br /><br />To the best of my knowledge, ‘affect’ and ‘effect’ are different in meaning. For instance, ‘they effect the data transformation’ does not convey the same meaning as ‘they affect the data transformation.’ Nonetheless, some writers use both verbs interchangeably. For example, I have just read a paper that contains the following sentence: ‘In most cases, we found that adding one or two hidden neurons did not significantly effect the neural network accuracy.’<br />'Effect the neural network accuracy' means 'achieve/produce the neural network accuracy.'Andre Bianconinoreply@blogger.com
