How I can add more hidden layers on the nftool code that I exported from the nnstart GUI?
Since I don't know much about how to implement a network using command line, I tried using the GUI from NNSTART and exported the code so I could try to figure out how to make the changes I need. the problems is that I don't how to add more layers/neurons, even more ephocs. Here is the code I got from my first attempt: % Solve an Input-Output Fitting problem with a Neural Network % Script generated by Neural Fitting app % Created 13-Sep-2017 20:47:36 % % This script assumes these variables are defined: % % Input_train - input data. % Target_train - target data. x = Input_train; t = Target_train; % Choose a Training Function % For a list of all training functions type: help nntrain % 'trainlm' is usually fastest. % 'trainbr' takes longer but may be better for challenging problems. % 'trainscg' uses less memory.

trainFcn = 'trainlm'; hiddenLayerSize = 23; numberhiddenlayers=2;%more hidden layers net = fitnet([hiddenLayerSize numberhiddenlayers],trainFcn); net.trainParam.epochs=2000;% more epochs view(net)
