%DEMHMC2 Demonstrate Bayesian regression with Hybrid Monte Carlo sampling.
%
%	Description
%	The problem consists of one input variable X and one target variable
%	T with data generated by sampling X at equal intervals and then
%	generating target data by computing SIN(2*PI*X) and adding Gaussian
%	noise. The model is a 2-layer network with linear outputs, and the
%	hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm (without persistence) is used to sample
%	from the posterior distribution of the weights.  The graph shows the
%	underlying function, 100 samples from the function given by the
%	posterior distribution of the weights, and the average prediction
%	(weighted by the posterior probabilities).
