Description
perform(net,t,y,ew) takes these arguments,
netNeural network
tTarget data
yOutput data
ewError weights (default = {1})
and returns network performance calculated according to the
net.performFcn and net.performParam property
values.
The target and output data must have the same dimensions. The error weights may be the same
dimensions as the targets, in the most general case, but may also have any of its dimensions be
1. This gives the flexibility of defining error weights across any dimension desired.
Error weights can be defined by sample, output element, time step, or network
output:
ew = [1.0 0.5 0.7 0.2]; % Across 4 samples
ew = [0.1; 0.5; 1.0]; % Across 3 elements
ew = {0.1 0.2 0.3 0.5 1.0}; % Across 5 timesteps
ew = {1.0; 0.5}; % Across 2 outputs
The error weights can also be defined across any combination, such as across two
time-series (i.e., two samples) over four timesteps.
ew = {[0.5 0.4],[0.3 0.5],[1.0 1.0],[0.7 0.5]};
In the general case, error weights may have exactly the same dimensions as targets, in
which case each target value will have an associated error weight.
The default error weight treats all errors the same.
ew = {1}
