You must pass X as a floating-point matrix.

I am building a GUI to classify breast images. I am using SVM as the classifier technique. However, I am getting an error message. Please find my code an the error message below. Any help would be appreciated.
File=handles.File;
InputImage=handles.InputImage;
TestSet=InputImage;
Labels = table2array(File);
Training=Labels(1:2004,1:9);
class=Labels(:,10);
SVMmodel= fitcsvm(Training, class, 'KernelFunction', 'Linear', 'Standardize', true, 'ClassNames', {'1', '2'});
result = predict(SVMmodel, TestSet);
result=num2str(result);
The error message is displayed below:
Error using classreg.learning.impl.CompactSVMImpl/score (line 45)
You must pass X as a floating-point matrix.

From the documentation for predict, it says that the syntax is
predict(Mdl,X)
where X is the predictor data, and should be a numeric array.
In your case, X is TestSet, so try running
whos('TestSet')
in the command line to see what comes up under the Size and Class headings.

Your TestSet must have the same structure as your Training set. You can try this
result = predict(SVMmodel, Labels(:, 1:9));

The return value from predict is labels in the same format as they were input to ficsvm. Your two labels are {'1', '2'} so you get a cell array of labels returned.
Consider changing the {'1', '2'} to be {'Malignant', 'Benign'} and then you would not have to do the if .
