I think you are on the wrong track.
Typically all you know are the N pairs of I-dimensional inputs and corresponding O-dimensional output targets in the form
 [ I N ] = size(input)
 [ O N ] = size(target)
From there you can go to the documentation examples resulting from the commands
 help fitnet
and 
 doc fitnet
for regression and curvefitting
or
 help patternnet
and
 doc patternnet
for classification and pattern-recognition.
Try the MATLAB data in the examples before trying your own.
Hope this helps.
