A Simple Method for Estimating the Weight Decay Parameter

was initially intended for computing a " quick and dirty " estimate for , which could be used as an initial value for doing a full search using cross validation. The initial estimate, however, turned out to be essentially as good as the final , which rendered further search unneccesary! Another finding that came out of this work, is the fact that guessing the weight decay parameter to be approx...
