PREPARETS: solved. How to test/predict a/with neural network with a new series of input?

Preparets has been solved. I will continue working on my code. Question will be updated if necessary or deleted if no other questions surface.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I designed a NARX neural network with the following code:

%%The files are attached
load('LeftEMGsInputSeries.mat')
load('LeftAnkleAngleTargetSeries.mat')
load('held_LeftEMGsInputSeriesup.mat')
load('held_LeftAnkleAngleTargetSeriesup.mat')

%%Create a Nonlinear Autoregressive Network with External Input
inputDelays = 10:15;
feedbackDelays = 10:15;
hiddenLayerSize = 10;

perf = [];

net = narxnet(inputDelays,feedbackDelays,hiddenLayerSize);
net = openloop(net);

%%Prepare data and Train network
[inputs,inputStates,layerStates,targets,EWs,SHIFT] = preparets(net,LeftEMGsInputSeries,{},LeftAnkleAngleTargetSeries);
[net,tr] = train(net,inputs,targets,inputStates,layerStates);

%Switch the network to predictive mode
newnet = removedelay(net,10);

And it works. Now, I want to predict an output based on a new set of inputs. Since my new series are not the same size of the original test/train series, I tried to prepare the series with:

[held_inputs,held_inputStates,held_layerStates,held_targets,held_EWs,held_SHIFT] = preparets(net,held_LeftEMGsInputSeriesup,{},held_LeftAnkleAngleTargetSeriesup);

And then use:

Predicted_targets = net(held_inputs, held_inputStates, held_layerStates);
perf = perform(newnet,held_LeftAnkleAngleTargetSeriesup, Predicted_targets);

But I get an error on the preparets line.

Error using preparets (line 78)
Inputs{1,1} is not numeric or logical.

A colleague developed a similar network and his code below works:

[held_back_inputs,held_back_inputStates,held_back_layerStates,held_back_targets,held_back_EWs,held_back_SHIFT] = preparets(net,held_back_inputSeries_altered,{},held_back_targetSeries_altered);

I cannot see the difference. I don't know if the error comes on how the arrays/cells were created. How can I fix this issue?

Thank you,

I am also getting the same error. How did you fixed it?

Never delete an unanswered question unless, upon further reflection, the question is obviously stupid.

I say this because, more than a few times, ancient unanswered questions have given me insight for solving questions of both mine and others.

In this case, the data was not as individual cell arrays.

con2seq()

can be use to format the data correctly.
