My objective is to create a NN that is able to predict the sinus function. For that I tried using several types of networks, including feed-forward using the Fit Tool and NARX net using the time series tool.
The sinus has a period of 365.
Using Fiting Tool(default configurations except i give it 5 neurons)
%The input I give for training is:
input = linspace(1,270,100); % I used several variations of this
target = sin(2*pi*input/365);
%Results: Samples MSE R
%Training: 70 7.23e-7 9.9999e-1
%Validation: 15 6.84e-7 9.9999e-1
%Testing: 15 3.171e-6 9.99993e-1
Which I think look pretty good.
In the next step I try to predict the remaining function using the following sample:
pred_inp=linspace(271,365,100);
pred_targ= sin(2*pi*pred_inp/365);
% Results: Samples MSE R
% 100 1.33175e-0 -3.6286e-1
%And this is where it gets crazy, sometimes it gives a good prediction,
%other times it just goes down.
%It gets even worse if I try to predict for more than one period:
pred_inp=linspace(271,730,100);
I have no idea of what is going wrong. Anyone here could assist me? Or showing me another way to do this?

The rule of thumb for predicting a sinusoid function is (I think) that you have to train on at least 1.5 periods with at least 8 points per period. If this turns out to be wrong, try training on 2 periods with 20 points per period. Then back off.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your answer. I tried what you said but without success. I even tried with up to 4 periods for training and testing if she could predict anything up to another 1.5 periods. The prediction fails terribly.
What else can be done?
EDIT: Just tried with a NARX network trained for 4 periods just as I tried for the Fiting Tool before and it managed to give me a good prediction.
But why can't it with the fiting?

In sum, lets stick to NARX networks for prediction right?
On that subject, I created one using the GUI and the prediction run just fine. Now, I am trying to run it from the script but it gives me this error:
Error using network/sim (line 280)
Number of inputs does not match net.numInputs.
Error in network/subsref (line 17)
otherwise, v = sim(vin,subs{:});
Error in SinusNarxNet (line 86)
pred = net(test_in,inputStates,layerStates);
The code I am using is:

1. There was no attempt to find the significant auto and cross correlation lags.
2. With smooth curves the minimum number of hidden nodes is equal to the number of local extrema
Hope this helps
