Hello everybody
I am new to neural networks, but I have studied the theory and everything is OK. Now I've come to the practical part. I am using the Neural Network toolbox in Matlab, and start using NARX where x(t) is Excel file (1 column and 3500 rows) and y(t) is also an Excel file (1 column and 3500 rows). I import these files and train the system, and get the figures and everything is OK. My question is:
After doing all of the above , how do I use this network to predict the value of y for a given x?
Here is the resulting script file :

% This script assumes these variables are defined:
%% EMA - input time series.
% Close - feedback time series.
inputSeries = tonndata(EMA,false,false);targetSeries = tonndata(Close,false,false);% Create a Nonlinear Autoregressive Network with External Input
inputDelays = 1:2;feedbackDelays = 1:2;hiddenLayerSize = 10;net = narxnet(inputDelays,feedbackDelays,hiddenLayerSize);% Choose Input and Feedback Pre/Post-Processing Functions
% Settings for feedback input are automatically applied to feedback output

net.inputs{1}.processFcns = {'removeconstantrows','mapminmax'};net.inputs{2}.processFcns = {'removeconstantrows','mapminmax'};% Prepare the Data for Training and Simulation
% The function PREPARETS prepares timeseries data for a particular network,
% shifting time by the minimum amount to fill input states and layer states.
% Using PREPARETS allows you to keep your original time series data unchanged, while
% easily customizing it for networks with differing numbers of delays, with
% open loop or closed loop feedback modes.
[inputs,inputStates,layerStates,targets] = preparets(net,inputSeries,{},targetSeries);% Setup Division of Data for Training, Validation, Testing
% The function DIVIDERAND randomly assigns target values to training,
% validation and test sets during training.
% For a list of all data division functions type: help nndivide
net.divideFcn = 'dividerand'; % Divide data randomly
% The property DIVIDEMODE set to TIMESTEP means that targets are divided
% into training, validation and test sets according to timesteps.
% For a list of data division modes type: help nntype_data_division_mode
net.divideMode = 'value'; % Divide up every value

[net,tr] = train(net,inputs,targets,inputStates,layerStates);% Test the Network
outputs = net(inputs,inputStates,layerStates);errors = gsubtract(targets,outputs);performance = perform(net,targets,outputs)% Recalculate Training, Validation and Test Performance
trainTargets = gmultiply(targets,tr.trainMask);valTargets = gmultiply(targets,tr.valMask);testTargets = gmultiply(targets,tr.testMask);trainPerformance = perform(net,trainTargets,outputs)valPerformance = perform(net,valTargets,outputs)testPerformance = perform(net,testTargets,outputs)% View the Network

% Closed Loop Network
% Use this network to do multi-step prediction.
% The function CLOSELOOP replaces the feedback input with a direct
% connection from the outout layer.
netc = closeloop(net);netc.name = [net.name ' - Closed Loop'];view(netc)[xc,xic,aic,tc] = preparets(netc,inputSeries,{},targetSeries);yc = netc(xc,xic,aic);closedLoopPerformance = perform(netc,tc,yc)% Early Prediction Network
% For some applications it helps to get the prediction a timestep early.
% The original network returns predicted y(t+1) at the same time it is given y(t+1).
% For some applications such as decision making, it would help to have predicted
% y(t+1) once y(t) is available, but before the actual y(t+1) occurs.
% The network can be made to return its output a timestep early by removing one delay
% so that its minimal tap delay is now 0 instead of 1. The new network returns the
% same outputs as the original network, but outputs are shifted left one timestep.
nets = removedelay(net);nets.name = [net.name ' - Predict One Step Ahead'];view(nets)[xs,xis,ais,ts] = preparets(nets,inputSeries,{},targetSeries);ys = nets(xs,xis,ais);earlyPredictPerformance = perform(nets,ts,ys)Thanks in advance
