Divide vectors into three sets using random indices

Syntax

• [trainV,valV,testV,trainInd,valInd,testInd] = 
  dividerand(allV,trainRatio,valRatio,testRatio)
  

Description

dividerand is used to separate input and target vectors into three sets: training, validation, and testing. It takes the following inputs,

allV	R x Q matrix of Q R-element vectors.
trainRatio	Ratio of vectors for training. Default = 0.6.
valRatio	Ratio of vectors for validation. Default = 0.2.
testRatio	Ratio of vectors for testing. Default = 0.2.

and returns

trainV	Training vectors
valV	Validation vectors
testV	Test vectors
trainInd	Training indices
valInd	Validation indices
testInd	Test indices

Examples

• p = rands(3,1000);
  t = [p(1,:).*p(2,:); p(2,:).*p(3,:)];
  [trainP,valP,testV,trainInd,valInd,testInd] = 
     dividerand(p,0.6,0.2,0.2);
  [trainT,valT,testT] = divideind(t,trainInd,valInd,testInd);
  

Network Use

Here are the network properties that define which data division function to use, and what its parameters are, when train is called.
