I'm trying to train a ANN using the nprtool but i can't select my targets. The targets option is empty while the inputs shows all my data. Why is it happening? Any idea?
Thanks in advance

The target must contain binary data. That a maximum of two classes.

Not at all! For c classes, the target columns are columns of the {0,1} unit matrix eye(c);
[ x t ] = iris_dataset;
whos % No semicolon
t = t % No semicolon
Hope this helps.

If you have n classes ,then your target matrix for nprtool should be a n*m matrix where m is the number of training samples. Each column of the matrix should have a 1 in the row representing the corresponding class with the rest as 0.

CORRECT!
The target columns should be a {0,1} unit vector column of the unit matrix
eye(n).
See my above comment.

I changed my target from a single integer 1 to 10 to a vector of [ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ] for each example and then my target appears in the GUI and life is good.

Do you have your targets in your folder where are your inputs?

Yes, they are in the same folder and both are loaded in the memory

I had the same problem with negative targets, I changed it with positive values and solve the problem.

I have the same problem. My target has size of 6*3600 and it's format is [0.9 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1] and loaded into workspace but not appear to be chosen in nprtool, but input is ok. Can anybody help?
