Dear Friends
I have implemented Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) with one hidden layer and 20 nodes (by using the rule of thumb) but whenever i tried to train with 500 epochs , 1000 epochs or 1500 epochs , it is stop in 5 or 6 iteration and in command window it is showing that performance goal is met. (i have used net.performance goal = 0.1 to 0.9)
my input layer is 81 features and out put layer is 5. My motive is to remove the performance goal parameter becoz i want to train upto the 500 epochs , 1000 epochs or 1500 epochs.

Please help me anyone , thanks in advance

with regards
Manish
