高维不平衡逻辑回归的高效后验抽样AI 解读

Summary Classification with high-dimensional data is of widespread interest and often involves dealing with imbalanced data. Bayesian classification approaches are hampered by the fact that current Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms for posterior computation become inefficient as the number $p$ of predictors or the number $n$ of subjects to classify gets large, because of the increasing computational time per step and worsening mixing rates. One strategy is to employ a…

用于离散参数与不连续似然的非连续哈密顿蒙特卡洛AI 解读

Summary Hamiltonian Monte Carlo has emerged as a standard tool for posterior computation. In this article we present an extension that can efficiently explore target distributions with discontinuous densities. Our extension in particular enables efficient sampling from ordinal parameters through the embedding of probability mass functions into continuous spaces. We motivate our approach through a theory of discontinuous Hamiltonian dynamics and develop a corresponding…
