The mlp-mc-3 method uses a multilayer perceptron with one hidden layer
and NO direct input-output connections, trained by a Bayesian method
implemented using Markov chain Monte Carlo. The Automatic Relevance
Determination scheme is used for determining the relevance of the
various inputs. The method can be used for both regression and
classification. Aside from the absence of direct connections, it is
the same as mlp-mc-2.
See the notes for more details.
Software
This method uses the software for flexible Bayesian modeling written
by Radford Neal (release of 1997-06-22), available from
