Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people have run comparisons of neural
nets with "traditional statistics" (whatever that means). Most such
studies involve one or two data sets, and are of little use to anyone
else unless they happen to be analyzing the same kind of data. But
one really impressive study of supervised classification is:

   Michie, D., Spiegelhalter, D.J. and Taylor, C.C. (1994), Machine
   Learning, Neural and Statistical Classification, Ellis Horwood.
