Description: A probabilistic neural network is a type of neural network that incorporates probability distributions into its architecture. Unlike traditional neural networks, which typically provide a deterministic output, probabilistic neural networks model uncertainty in data and relationships between variables. This is achieved through the integration of Bayesian inference techniques, allowing the model not only to learn patterns from data but also to estimate the probability of different outcomes. Key features of these networks include the ability to handle incomplete and noisy data, as well as the capability to make inferences about new observations based on acquired knowledge. Their relevance lies in their application in fields where uncertainty is inherent, such as medicine, finance, and artificial intelligence. By incorporating probability into their functioning, these networks offer a more robust and flexible way to model complex phenomena, enabling researchers and professionals to make more informed decisions based on evidence and the uncertainty present in the data.
