Daniel@0: Purpose Daniel@0:

Daniel@0: Evaluate Bayesian regularisation for network forward propagation. Daniel@0: Daniel@0:

Daniel@0: Synopsis Daniel@0:

Daniel@0:
Daniel@0: extra = fevbayes(net, y, a, x, t, x_test)
Daniel@0: [extra, invhess] = fevbayes(net, y, a, x, t, x_test, invhess)

Daniel@0: Description Daniel@0:

Daniel@0: extra = fevbayes(net, y, a, x, t, x_test) takes a network data structure Daniel@0: net together with a set of hidden unit activations a from Daniel@0: test inputs x_test, training data inputs x and t and Daniel@0: outputs a matrix of extra information extra that consists of Daniel@0: error bars (variance) Daniel@0: for a regression problem or moderated outputs for a classification problem. Daniel@0: The optional argument (and return value) Daniel@0: invhess is the inverse of the network Hessian Daniel@0: computed on the training data inputs and targets. Passing it in avoids Daniel@0: recomputing it, which can be a significant saving for large training sets. Daniel@0: Daniel@0:

This is called by network-specific functions such as mlpevfwd which Daniel@0: are needed since the return values (predictions and hidden unit activations) Daniel@0: for different network types are in different orders (for good reasons). Daniel@0: Daniel@0:
