How to increase maximum number of epochs in Neural Network toolbox?

Hello, as I am traning large set of data and with large number of layer size, the default 1000 epoch are not enough. I want to increase these number of epochs but I do not see any option in the neural network fitting toolbox. I have seen somewhere that we can add that as line in MATLAB code, but I want to adjust that in the toolbox. Where can I find it?

Hi Liril,

You can change the number of epochs in your neural net in the following manner:

% Example Network
net = fitnet(15);
[net,tr] = train(net,X,T); % initializing the training network for some data
net.trainParam.epochs=10000; % Setting the number of epochs.

Since, I am not very good at writing the entire script of matlab and I currently I know how to use GUI toolbox, can I know how to set number of epochs within the GUI toolbox?

I am not sure how to do it in the GUI since the field is not editable.

If you want to understand how to write script for the neural net, you can refer to the following example :

https://www.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/ug/body-fat-estimation.html

The example shows how to import your dataset, and subsequently generate a neural net on that training data.

Let me know if you face any other issues.

Best,
