TYPE_PNN fails for tutorial examples

[TisVeugen]

The 3 tutorial examples in Encog 3.3: Quick Start Guide (IrisClassification, AutoMPGRegression, SunSpotTimeseries) have a comment that method MLMethodFactor.TYPE_PNN (i.e. Probabilistic Neural Network) can be used. However, changing the source code to this method results in an exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException at org.encog.neural.pnn.BasicPNN.setSamples(BasicPNN.java:236) at org.encog.neural.networks.training.pnn.TrainBasicPNN.iteration(TrainBasicPNN.java:599) at org.encog.ml.model.EncogModel.fitFold(EncogModel.java:218) at org.encog.ml.model.EncogModel.crossvalidate(EncogModel.java:285) at org.encog.examples.guide.classification.IrisClassification.run(IrisClassification.java:118) at org.encog.examples.guide.classification.IrisClassification.main(IrisClassification.java:176)

This exception refers to the MLData ideal that is still null for each (MLDataPair) pair

.Please, can this problem be fixed?

The exceptions you posted appear to be java exceptions, not .NET exceptions.

Your issue should likely be posted at encog-java-core instead of this repository, as this repository is specific to the Encog core for .NET.

@TisVeugen using "Peek Definition" in Visual Studio, you'll see that TYPE_PNN has been renamed to TypePNN in the MLMethodFactory.

Also of note is that all the others have been refactored to have the more C#-idiomatic nomenclature (such as TypeSVM, TypeSOM, and TypeRbfnetwork).

Since I don't work with Java, I cannot make any claims as to how the ML Factory declares its types in Java.

Hi, I am still getting this error. When I use the PNN type, on the SunSpotTimeseries example, I get a System.NullReferenceException on line 121 of BasicPNN.cs; I am using the latest 3.3 .NET release.

Is there a known fix or workaround?

Thanks! James
