Traditional neural network regression models provide only point estimates, failing to capture predictive uncertainty. Probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) address this limitation by producing output distributions, enabling the construction of prediction intervals. However, the common assumption of Gaussian output distributions often results in overly wide intervals, particularly in the presence of outliers or deviations from normality. To enhance the adaptability of PNNs, we propose t-Distributed Neural Networks (TDistNNs), which generate t-distributed outputs, parameterized by location, scale, and degrees of freedom. The degrees of freedom parameter allows TDistNNs to model heavy-tailed predictive distributions, improving robustness to non-Gaussian data and enabling more adaptive uncertainty quantification. We incorporate a likelihood based on the t-distribution into neural network training and derive efficient gradient computations for seamless integration into deep learning frameworks. Empirical evaluations on synthetic and real-world data demonstrate that TDistNNs improve the balance between coverage and interval width. Notably, for identical architectures, TDistNNs consistently produce narrower prediction intervals than Gaussian-based PNNs while maintaining proper coverage. This work contributes a flexible framework for uncertainty estimation in neural networks tasked with regression, particularly suited to settings involving complex output distributions.
