Abstract: While many implementations of Bayesian neural networks use large, complex hierarchical priors, in much of modern Bayesian statistics, noninformative (at) priors are very common. This paper introduces a noninformative prior for feed-forward neural networks, describing several theoretical and practical advantages of this approach. Details of implementation via Markov chain Monte Carlo are included. Key Words: Bayesian Statistics; Improper Prior; Markov Chain Monte Carlo 1 Introduction Much of... (Update)
