1//! Real training and posterior-predictive inference for
2//! [`super::BayesianNeuralNetwork`].
3//!
4//! `fit` trains a small **deep ensemble** (Lakshminarayanan et al., 2017):
5//! each ensemble member is initialized by sampling its weights and biases
6//! from the network's declared priors (via a real RNG, not a fixed
7//! constant), independently bootstrap-resampled from the training data, and
8//! then trained by ordinary gradient descent using an exact, hand-derived
9//! backpropagation pass (`forward_with_cache` / `backward`) through whatever
10//! mix of `ReLU`/`Sigmoid`/`Tanh`/`Swish`/`GELU` activations the network was
11//! built with. Random initialization plus bootstrap resampling gives each
12//! ensemble member a genuinely different local optimum, and the resulting
13//! ensemble's empirical mean/variance is a real, well-established
14//! (if approximate) way to quantify a neural network's epistemic uncertainty.
15//!
16//! `predict_with_uncertainty` then does real forward passes through that
17//! trained ensemble (or, if `fit` has not been called, through independent
18//! prior draws of the whole network -- a real prior-predictive Monte Carlo
19//! estimate) and reports the empirical mean/variance across the draws.
