20210501 Pikairos How I can de-normalize a predictive value generated using the NN

Normalization before and after Regression based on iris dataset with a KERAS ANN 4-3-1

The goal of this workflow is to show how to apply normalization & denormalization of target and predicted variables before and after the regresion prediction using KERAS NN nodes (Mulltilayer Perceptron with 4-8-3 layers, using BackPropagation).

This is a only a minimalist workflow which can be used as example and reference for doing the same (Normalization & Denormalisation) on more complicated regression problems in general.
