error-index exceeds matrix dimension

1 view (last 30 days)
In the following code i get error a s
P1 = [-1 -1 2 2; 0 5 0 5];
Tar = [0 ;1 ]
indices=crossvalind('kfold',Tar,10);
for i=1:10
test=(indices==i);trains= ~test
tst = (indices==i);
val = (indices== mod(i+1,10));
trn = ~[tst,val];
net=newff(P1(:,trains),Tar(:,trains),2);
net=init(net);
[net,tr]=train(net,P1(:,trains),Tar(:,trains));
out = round(sim(net,P(:,test)));
end
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Error in cfour (line 58)
net=newff(P1(:,trains),Tar(:,trains),2);
please help

That code is going to generate an error unless "indices" is of length 1 exactly. If it is longer than 1, then "test" and "train" will be longer than 1, and would then be too long to use as logical vectors against the columns of the single-column Tar array.

net=newff(P1(:,trains),Tar(:,trains),2);
throws an error in the first run, as Tar has no second dimension. Probably you mean:
net=newff(P1(:,trains),Tar(trains),2);

You just asked why you got this error. Now you know ;-)
I may know more about MATLAB, but hope fully you know more about neural networks... The message "Inputs and targets have different numbers of samples." That sounds like an actionable error message, isn't it?

1. The input and target matrices must have the same number of columns:
Tar = [ 0 0 1 1 ]
[ I N ] = size( P1) % [ 2 4 ] [ O N ] = size(Tar) % [ 1 4 ]
k = 10
indices=crossvalind('kfold',Tar,k)
2. a. It doesn't make sense to use k > N
b.Instead of using CROSSVALIND from the Bioinformatics TBX, the algorithm
might be more portable if you use CROSSVAL from the Statistics TBX.
3. trains= ~test
Rename. TRAINS is a MATLAB function.
Hope this helps.

[ O N ] = size(Tar) % [ 1 4 ]
Should be on a new line.

Typical nontrivial classification examples should have classes with
many more I/O training pairs than input dimensions.
For the FisherIris example/demo (c = 3, I = 4, N = 150).
Although that ratio is
N/(3*4) = 12.5,
the scatter plot in the PetalLength/PetalWidth plane indicates
that the 3 classes are linearly separable with two hidden nodes.
Hope this helps.
