MATLAB: Best suitable way for ANN.

Question

Greetings everyone,

I am working on a model of a river system, where by I have 6 years data at 23 sites for 5 parameters. I intend to train the network with initital 5 years data, predict the 6th years data with the trained network and finally compare the predicted values with the actual values.

I searched on the documentation for Machine learning and Neural networks but couldn't find the solution.

You can use feedforwardnet(): https://www.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/ref/feedforwardnet.html or fitnet(): https://www.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/ref/fitnet.html to create ANNs in MATLAB. This page: https://www.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/ref/network.train.html shows how to train them.

You can also use the GUI based approach as described here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/gs/fit-data-with-a-neural-network.html
