NARX re-training in closed loop
19 views (last 30 days)

Frequently, following the procedure suggested in the manual, the performance of a NARX neural network get worse when moving from open to closed loop. But this result doesn't represent the real potentiality of that net. I have resorted to retrain the closed loop network several times, always retaining the best result, using every time with starting parameters the random perturbations of the previously found best choice, obtaining much better performances. However, the process is slow. Doesn't a better technique exist to find the fitting closed loop net?

Using 100 feedback delays makes no sense.
Only use feedback delays that are within the correlation length of the function.
See my tutorials.

If you are having a problem in a long script, only post that part of the script that is involved in the problem.

I have not found one and the MATLAB documentation ...
IS OF VERY LITTLE HELP!!!
I have tried all of the example datasets in
help nndatasets
and
doc nndatasets
and listed my successes and frustrations.
I would like to use DIVIDEBLOCK with the basic assumption that the summary statistics are stationary. HOWEVER, when there are problems, that assumption really needs to be verified.
I have found no guidance w.r.t. this. Some obvious ideas:
1. Determine the summary stats of the DIVIDEBLOCK trn, val
and tst SUBSETS.
2. If stationarity cannot be assumed, try the 1st or 2nd
differences of the series.
3. Consider increasing the length of the lag time to reduce
the complexity.
Please keep us informed if you have any luck in your experimentation.
Hope this helps.

How do you get to retrain a NARX NN once tranformed to closed loop? I can train in open loop architecture, but I can't when I close the loop. See the code and error below, please.
Thanks

Hi Victor,
Your method seems correct. I would suggest changing the closed loop training method (scg) as this solved the problem for me.
