+Description
+</h2>
+<CODE>prior = mlpprior(nin, nhidden, nout, aw1, ab1, aw2, ab2)</CODE> 
+generates a data structure
+<CODE>prior</CODE>, with fields <CODE>prior.alpha</CODE> and <CODE>prior.index</CODE>, which
+specifies a Gaussian prior distribution for the network weights in a
+two-layer feedforward network. Two different cases are possible. In
+the first case, <CODE>aw1</CODE>, <CODE>ab1</CODE>, <CODE>aw2</CODE> and <CODE>ab2</CODE> are all
+scalars and represent the regularization coefficients for four groups
+of parameters in the network corresponding to first-layer weights,
+first-layer biases, second-layer weights, and second-layer biases
+respectively. Then <CODE>prior.alpha</CODE> represents a column vector of
+length 4 containing the parameters, and <CODE>prior.index</CODE> is a matrix
+specifying which weights belong in each group. Each column has one
+element for each weight in the matrix, using the standard ordering as
+defined in <CODE>mlppak</CODE>, and each element is 1 or 0 according to
+whether the weight is a member of the corresponding group or not.  In
+the second case the parameter <CODE>aw1</CODE> is a vector of length equal to
+the number of inputs in the network, and the corresponding matrix
+<CODE>prior.index</CODE> now partitions the first-layer weights into groups
+corresponding to the weights fanning out of each input unit. This 
+prior is appropriate for the technique of automatic relevance
+determination.
