编辑： Rina Blomberg 2015-3-15

Hello,

I have seen other people have had this problem too - http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/answers/1925-model-parameter-must-be-a-string-error but am unsure how to correct so I apologize in advance only this is acting weird.

I want to save the network to a file so I can (hopefully) use it in a aspx.NET application. When the I call sim(net,data) without saving to a file then it works, when I save it to a file I get the error:

Error using nn1 (line 34)
'model' parameter must be a string

I am using R2012a and am unsure what to do. Following the advice of others in previous versions of this problem I have found the following *when loading from the file*:

>> which sim
built-in (C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\toolbox\simulink\simulink\sim)

when I *don't* load from the file I get:

K>> which sim
built-in (C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\toolbox\simulink\simulink\sim)

any help will be gratefully appreciated

Mark

clearvars -global;
a = xlsread('c:\\CS Data\\ScoringValidation1.xls');
a(isnan(a)) =0;
data = a(:, 2:size(a,2)-2);
data = data';
targets = a(:, size(a,2)-1:size(a,2));
t = targets';
net = patternnet(10)
net = train(net,data,t);
view(net)
y = net(data);
perf = perform(net,t,y)
classes = vec2ind(y)
save 'c:\\nn\\net' net
net = load('c:\\nn\\net'); % ***when I use this I get the error when calling sim(net,data1)
%  test to see if it works...
data1 = [9,1];
data1(1) = 75;
data1(2) = 75;
data1(3) = 0.06;
data1(4) = 0;
data1(5) = 1;
data1(6) = 0;
data1(7) = 1;

sim(net,data1)

Use the extended version of "which" to provide an argument:

which sim(net)

The question becomes what class "net" is when it is created, and which class it is after the load operation.

when it does work:

K>> which -all sim
built-in (C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\toolbox\simulink\simulink\sim)

when it doesn't:

it shows up but how do I make it go to the right place?

thanks for your help,

Hi,

I managed to get this working with the following code, using the solutions found here:

http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/answers/3877-undefined-function-or-method-sim-for-input-arguments-of-type-struct

and here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/248570

so many thanks to these people, including you Walter, you guys are honestly super!!

The final code for anyone else that's interested is(the parameters are to predict survival rates of an individual(male obviously!) after standing on a landmine so edit as you see fit!):

function [output] = runNet(ISS, NISS, TRISS, RTS, pelvic, penis, teste, scrotum, rectum)
%#function network 
thedata = load ('c:\\nn\\net');
variablenames = fieldnames(thedata);
for k = 1:numel(variablenames)
    y = thedata.(variablenames{k});
    if isa(y, 'network')
        neti = y;
        break;
    end
end
data = [9,1];
data(1) = ISS;
data(2) = NISS;
data(3) = TRISS;
data(4) = RTS;
data(5) = pelvic;
data(6) = penis;
data(7) = teste;
data(8) = scrotum;
data(9) = rectum;
data = data'
output = sim(neti,data)
end

for any newbies out there believe me the

%#function network

does work, I was skeptical thinking that matlab would ignore it because of the '%', but it doesn't!! Honestly try it!

I tested it using:

ISS =21
NISS = 21
TRISS = 54.09 
RTS=4.09
pelvic=0
penis=3
teste=5
scrotum=0
rectum=0
result=runNet(ISS, NISS, TRISS, RTS, pelvic, penis, teste, scrotum, rectum)

and then compiled it to a dll using the 'deploytool' command to a .net assembly. The C# code that was used was (I deployed to a dll called 'neural':

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.Arrays;
using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.Utility;
using neural;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
              MWArray ISS, NISS, TRISS, RTS, pelvic, penis, teste, scrotum, rectum;
              MWArray result = null;
              ISS =21;
              NISS = 21;
              TRISS = 54.09; 
              RTS=4.09;
              pelvic=0;
              penis=3;
              teste=5;
              scrotum=0;
              rectum = 0;
              neural.predict np = new predict();
              result = np.runNet(ISS, NISS, TRISS, RTS, pelvic, penis, teste, scrotum, rectum);
          }
      }
  }

I hope that this helps somebody so they don't get as frustrated as I have been!

Thanks again Walter for your help.

Oh forgot to mention for the newbies out there that I used matlab 2012a edition and was running in a .net 4.0 environment.

Good luck

:-)

Ah... I didn't realize you were deploying this. If I had, I would have suggested the %#function approach much earlier. Oh well.

My answer may not be related to this specific question, but it may help anyone searching for this particular error message when attempting to use the function sim() after having saved and loaded a trained neural network.

The trained network is saved as a .mat file. Eg:

save([path 'net.mat'], 'net');

If for example, this network is then loaded in another script:

net = load([path 'net.mat']);

and then one attempts the follwing code:

results = net(testdata); or results = sim(net, testdata) ;

Then MATLAB outputs the following error (respective to the function used above): Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals or 'model' parameter must be a string

The reason for the error in this particular scenario is because the network has been saved in a struct array. To access the network for simulation you must write: importvariablename.savedvariablename . For example, if using the variable names from above the network must be properly accessed by writing:

results = net.net(testdata); or results = sim(net.net, testdata);
