Are "fitrnet" and "fitnet" using backpropagation?

Hello all together,

does anyone know if the commands "fitrnet" and "fitnet" are using backpropagation?

And how can I prove the statement? Is there any statement from Mathworks itself about this?

thank you very much.

best regards

I am not an expert, but my read of the documentation is that all the algorithms used by fitnet, at least, will use backpropagation.

See in particular the section in this documentation page that starts with the sentence

"As a note on terminology, the term 'backpropagation' ..."

I did not investigate fitrnet as much, but I expect you will find similar documentation.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Do you have a link to the documentation where I can read that about "fitnet"? Unfortunately I have not found anything about "fitrnet".

I edited my answer to insert the documentation links in that I accidentally left out.
