Re: rng(0) error in Neural Network

Lin, the error message in its entirety say this:
"The current random number generator is the legacy generator. This is
because you have executed a command such as rand('state',0), which
activates MATLAB's legacy random number behavior. You may not use RNG
to reseed the legacy random number generator.
Use rng('default') to reinitialize the random number generator to its
startup configuration, or call RNG using a specific generator type, such
as rng(seed,'twister')."
So here's what happened: some time between when you started up MATLAB
and when you tried to use the rng function, either you, some of your
code, or some code you ran executed a command such as
rand('state',0)
or
randn('seed',0)
which has the effect of resetting MATLAB's random number generators to
their old pre-R2008 configuration and behaviors. The rng function
refuses to reseed the "legacy" generators.
That command is _strongly_ not recommended, and has been for a number of
years. If you typed something like that at the command line, or put a
line like that in a function or a script that you wrote, you should
replace it as described here
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/updating-your-random-number-generator-syntax.html
which you can also find if you look at the reference page for the rng
function
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/rng.html
If you can't figure out where that command is being executed, it may be
that you've downloaded code for MATLAB Central that is doing it.
Hope this helps.
