Q:

Why does my trained neural network produce the same output

I have trained my neural network using encog 3.3 with MLP, resilientProp (trial since BackProp's learning rate and momentum is hard to set), 10 inputs (including the ideal value), 1 hidden layer with 7 neurons, 1 output neuron, sigmoid activation, training set is about 80k of rows, testing set is about 96 rows, with error rates of 0.01, 0.007 (I created 2 models but with 2 different error rates only and all the other settings mentioned above are the same).  I've also done normalization of min-max on the data.  Maybe my evaluation code is wrong?  Or some parts of the code?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is my result:

Predicted=0.4451817588640455, Actual=0.4693212349328293
(...and so on with the same "predicted")

Results im expecting (I changed the "predicted" with something random for demonstration purposes, indicating that the network is actually predicting):

A:

Fixed it by thoroughly normalizing all the input features.  I was thinking that it's already enough to normalize the main input you're trying to predict and leave the factors that affect it as is.
