I'm pretty sure this is a topic with literally thousands of hits if you google it! Or are you asking specifically about a Matlab coded network, in which case showing some code helps.

I normalize the mean-square-error
MSE = mse(error) = mse(output-target)
by the minimum MSE obtained when the output is a constant.
If the output is a constant, the MSE is minimized when that constant is
the average of the target. For a 1-D target
NMSE = mse(output-target) / mse(target-mean(target))
= mse(error) / var(target,1)
This is related to the R-square statistic (AKA as R2) via
Rsquare = R2 = 1 - NMSE
Both NMSE and R2 are contained in [0,1].
I have posted zillions of examples in both the NEWSGROUP and ANSWERS.
Just search using

But what I do not understand is in the way of R-square statistic you calculate with the consideration that the behavior between the target and the output is linear. But when the behavior is nonlinear, then you get high accuracy, although the network produces a large error.
