Here we wish to merge this approach with the derivation of a likelihood function which can be used to make prediction on how our system under study evolves.
|

We will venture into the realm of what is called Bayesian Neural Networks. To get an overarching view on what this entails, the following figure conveys the essential differences between a standard Neural network that we have met earlier and a Bayesian Neural Network. In order to get there, we need to present some of the basic elements of Bayesian statistics, starting with the product rule and Bayes' theorem.
