<h2>
Purpose
</h2>
Generic forward propagation with evidence for network

<p><h2>
Synopsis
</h2>
<PRE>

[y, extra] = netevfwd(w, net, x, t, x_test)
[y, extra, invhess] = netevfwd(w, net, x, t, x_test, invhess)
</PRE>


<p><h2>
Description
</h2>
<CODE>[y, extra] = netevfwd(w, net, x, t, x_test)</CODE> takes a network data 
structure 
<CODE>net</CODE> together with the input <CODE>x</CODE> and target <CODE>t</CODE> training data
and input test data <CODE>x_test</CODE>.
It returns the normal forward propagation through the network <CODE>y</CODE>
together with a matrix <CODE>extra</CODE> which consists of error bars (variance)
for a regression problem or moderated outputs for a classification problem.

<p>The optional argument (and return value) 
<CODE>invhess</CODE> is the inverse of the network Hessian
computed on the training data inputs and targets.  Passing it in avoids
recomputing it, which can be a significant saving for large training sets.
