Explainability in CNN Models By Means of Z-Scores

This paper explores the similarities of output layers in Neural Networks (NNs) with logistic regression to explain importance of inputs by Z-scores. The network analyzed, a network for fusion of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Microwave Radiometry (MWR) data, is applied to prediction of arctic se...
