MATLAB: I want to implement Multilayer perceptron for software effort estimation. Which function should I use feedforwardnet, fitnet or something else.

Deep Learning Toolboxmultilayer perceptronsoftware effort estimation

My input may be continuous or categorial. but target is always a continuous no.

For continuous outputs both fitnet and feedforwardnet are equivalent and the natural choice.

Perhaps an easier way to get strated is using the app:

If further customization is needed then 'network' allows one to build more flexible networks:

Note: for deep learning networks a good way to get sarted is by using the Deep Network Designer app:

I hope this helps.

 Use the command window

 net = fitnet([]);     % For regression
 net = patternnet([]); % For classification

Hope this helps.
