matlab net perform,Calculate network performance

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}
