摘要: Artificial neural networks have become a powerful modeling tool. However, although they obtain an output with very good accuracy, provide no information about the uncertainty of network or its coverage intervals. This study describes application Monte Carlo method to and intervals particular type artificial network: multilayer perceptron.
