This project develops a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) for macroeconomic forecasting, using stochastic volatility and Bayesian shrinkage priors to manage complex, high-dimensional data. With layer-specific and neuron-specific activation functions, the model captures both long-term dependencies and short-term nonlinear dynamics. Offering adaptive uncertainty quantification and robust volatility handling, it’s ideal for risk analysis, economic policy, and quantitative finance applications.
