network

Class: Autoencoder

Convert Autoencoder object into network object

Syntax

net = network(autoenc)

Description

net = network(autoenc) returns a network object which is equivalent to the autoencoder, autoenc.

Input Arguments

autoenc — Trained autoencoder

Autoencoder object

Trained autoencoder, returned as an object of the Autoencoder class.

Output Arguments

net — Neural network

network object

Neural network, that is equivalent to the autoencoder autoenc, returned as an object of the network class.

Examples

Create Network from Autoencoder

Load the sample data.

X = bodyfat_dataset;

X is a 13-by-252 matrix defining thirteen attributes of 252 different observations. For more information on the data, type help bodyfat_dataset in the command line.

Train an autoencoder on the attribute data.

autoenc = trainAutoencoder(X);

Create a network object from the autoencoder, autoenc.

net = network(autoenc);

Predict the attributes using the network, net.

Xpred = net(X);

Fit a linear regression model between the actual and estimated attributes data. Compute the estimated Pearson correlation coefficient, the slope and the intercept (bias) of the regression model, using all attribute data as one data set.

[C, S, B] = regression(X, Xpred, 'one')

C = 
0.9996

S = 
0.9981

B = 
0.1245

The correlation coefficient is almost 1, which indicates that the attributes data and the estimations from the neural network are highly close to each other.

Plot the actual data and the fitted line.

plotregression(X, Xpred);

The data appears to be on the fitted line, which visually supports the conclusion that the predictions are very close to the actual data.
