Yes. See this page for more information: http://au.mathworks.com/help/nnet/ref/dropoutlayer-class.html

May you know how can be it used with a neural network class, I mean specify one layer of the network as dropout, I have tried by simple definition but It did not work,

MLP.layers{3}=dropoutLayer(0.7);

Thanks

Were you able to find out how to implement dropout on neural network class ?
