Description: This demo nstrates how to use the sequential Monte Carlo algorithm with reversible jump MCMC steps to perform model selection in neural networks. We treat both the model dimension (number of neurons) and model parameters as unknowns. The derivation and details are presented in: Christophe Andrieu, Nando de Freitas and Arnaud Doucet. Sequential Bayesian Estimation and Model Selection Applied to Neural Networks . Technical report CUED/F-INFENG/TR 341, Cambridge University Department of Engineering, June 1999.
