Abstract
It is well known that the output of a Neural Network trained to disentangle between two classes has a probabilistic interpretation in terms of the a-posteriori Bayesian probability, provided that a unary representation is taken for the output patterns. This fact is used to make Neural Networks approximate probability density functions from examples in an unbinned way, giving a better performace than ``standard binned procedures''. In addition, the mapped p.d.f. has an analytical expression.
