I am using the Neural Network toolbox and attempting to determine how a trained patternnet would classify some test data. The documentation indicates I should use "classify" for this purpose. However, when I do so, I get an error message, because (as documented by "which classify") an unrelated function named "classify" is found preferentially on my matlabpath (/Applications/MATLAB_R2016a.app/toolbox/stats/stats/classify.m). If I "examine package contents" (I'm on a Mac), in fact that stats version of classify is the only one found. If I "doc classify" I get the stats version (re: Discriminant analysis), but at the top there is a notation: "Other uses of classify: nnet/SeriesNetwork.classify", and if I follow the offered link I find documentation on the version of classify appropriate for neural networks. How can I make that version of "classify" the one found in response to a command-line entry or a script? The same problem pertains to "predict". This overloading of function names seems like a very bad idea - what gives?

Doc says

"[Ypred,scores] = classify(net,X) estimates the classes for the data in X using the trained network, net."

In this case classify is a method of the class, SeriesNetwork, and net is an object of that class.

I guess your first input argument is not an object of SeriesNetwork.

patternnet and SeriesNetwork are not the same, so classify() cannot be used with a patternnet.

patternnet() uses train() and perform(), not classify

Notice that "object functions" is #6. Functions in the current folder is #8, functions in other folders is #9. The classify() that applies to SeriesNet takes a SeriesNetwork object as its first parameter. The classify() from the Statistics package takes a double as its first argument. MATLAB looks at the data types of the parameters to determine which calls are permitted.

If you were to construct a SeriesNetwork object using trainNetwork, then classify() applied to it would be the classify routine you are interested in.

When you are constructing the patternnet or SeriesNetwork you need to provide targets for the input samples. Without targets the routines cannot tell which samples are examples of the same class and which are not.

Consider for example a series of hand-drawn images, one a circle, one a circle with a small diagonal line, one a vertical line. Should the program, without being told what classes they are in, then deduce that the presence of a diagonal line creates a different class? If it does so and then you feed in a vertical line with a diagonal line near the top, the program would have to deduce that it was a different class than anything seen so far. But it isn't. The circle might have been a capital-O and the circle with diagonal line might have been a capital-Q and the vertical bar might have been the digit 1, but the vertical bar with the diagonal is also the digit 1. There are all kinds of circumstances like that where some changes are completely unimportant and other changes might be small but important. You cannot train your patterns accurately without multiple examples of the same pattern giving an idea of the range intended to all be considered the same thing, and all of those variations must be given the same target at training time.

After training is over and you have your network then you use perform() if you are using a patternnet: it takes input samples without any target information and predicts the target the samples belong to.

You could use round() if the values from [0, 1]

The NNET Roolbox has functions that convert vector output to classindices and vice versa.

 classindices = [ 1 3 5 2 4 ]
 target       = full(ind2vec(classindices))
 classindices = vec2ind(target)

Hope this helps.
