Training Neural Network: What does net.divideMode = 'value' mean?

I am wondering what the function net.divideMode = 'value'; means? Many people use it when prediction time series with NARX, but I cannot find anything in the web or documentation.
What is the difference between "value" and "time" ?
Thank you

My answer is I don't know. Any explanation that I have tried to understand didn't help.
I ran a quick narxnet comparison on the simpleseries_dataset. The results were the same.
So I guess a good question would be
When are the results different?
Good Luck.
P.S. If you find out, please post.

Hi Tim,
The 'net.divideMode' is a property that defines the algorithms to use when a network is to adapt, is to be initialized, is to have its performance measured, or is to be trained.
This property defines the target data dimensions which to divide up when the data division function is called. Its default value is 'sample' for static networks and 'time' for dynamic networks. It may also be set to 'sampletime' to divide targets by both sample and timestep, 'all' to divide up targets by every scalar value, or 'none' to not divide up data at all (in which case all data is used for training, none for validation or testing).
I hope this helps,
Ghada

Hey, what if i dont want to use the divide method already inbuilt in the NN APP? I want to divide samples outside the APP. I tried doing that but somehow its not working at all. Does the division also follows normalizing the data?
For context, I am trying to make a neural network for a data with 2 inputs and 2 outputs. (I have used the Regression APP)
