Method home for mlp-mc-1
In this method a fully connected multilayer perceptron neural network with
a single hidden layer of hyperbolic tangent units is trained using Bayesian
learning implemented via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques.
For a more detailed theoretical account of the method, refer to Radford Neal:
Bayesian
Learning for Neural Networks, Springer Verlag, New York (1996).
Software
The software used to implement this method is a very general
package of Markov Chain sampling techniques for Bayesian learning
in neural networks developed by Radford Neal.
The definition of the mlp-mc-1 method is given in a postscript document which also includes a sample script (written
for the csh shell) to be used in conjunction with the software.
