Bayesian Nonparametrics via Neural Networks is the first book to
focus on neural networks in the context of nonparametric regression
and classification, working within the Bayesian paradigm. Its goal
is to demystify neural networks, putting them firmly in a
statistical context rather than treating them as a black box. This
approach is in contrast to existing books, which tend to treat
neural networks as a machine learning algorithm instead of a
statistical model. Once this underlying statistical model is
recognized, other standard statistical techniques can be applied to
improve the model. The Bayesian approach allows better accounting
for uncertainty. This book covers uncertainty in model choice and
methods to deal with this issue, exploring a number of ideas from
statistics and machine learning. A detailed discussion on the
choice of prior and new noninformative priors is included, along
with a substantial literature review. Written for statisticians
using statistical terminology, Bayesian Nonparametrics via Neural
Networks will lead statisticians to an increased understanding of
the neural network model and its applicability to real-world
problems. To illustrate the major mathematical concepts, the author
uses two examples throughout the book: one on ozone pollution and
the other on credit applications. The methodology demonstrated is
relevant for regression and classification-type problems and is of
interest because of the widespread potential applications of the
methodologies described in the book.
