Tip |
In some cases it is possible to apply the Fourier Transform to the data before using it for training or validation. If data exhibits some periodic behavior, it is even possible to eliminate some frequency components without losing information. Neural Lab includes the function realfft to transform the data to the frequency domain. This function stores the real and imaginary part of the transformed data sequentially and works only when the length of the data is a power of two. See Wintempla > Signal Procesing > Fourier Transform for more information about the Fourier Transform. |
Problem 1 |
Create a New Project called SigFreq (You must select: Multi-layer Network and Classification in the New Project Dialog) to classify signals in the frequency domain. Edit the BuiltTrainSet.lab file to build an appropriate training set for the classification of the two waves: the sine and the saw tooth (see figure). Use 1000 training cases and 64 inputs. The input training set must include 500 sine waves and 500 saw tooth waves. Each training case has a wave with a random phase. |

Edit the BuilValidSet.lab file to build an appropriate validation set for problem1. Use 400 validation cases and 64 inputs. The validation set input must include 150 sine waves, and 250 saw tooth waves. Each validation case has a wave with random phase. Be sure to transform the data to the frequency domain. |
