The olden command from NeuralNetTools supports model objects created by neuralnet, nnet, caret's train command, and others. However, B, C, and D do not themselves support the Olden method. Caret, however, supports the varImp command, which also supports a method of assessing variable importance. The Olden method is based on Olden & Jackson (2002). The caret method is based on Gevrey et al (2003).
