利用方差—均值混合进行非高斯回归的数据增广AI 解读

We use the theory of normal variance-mean mixtures to derive a data-augmentation scheme for a class of common regularization problems. This generalizes existing theory on normal variance mixtures for priors in regression and classification. It also allows variants of the expectation-maximization algorithm to be brought to bear on a wider range of models than previously appreciated. We demonstrate the method on several examples, focusing on the case of binary logistic…

稀疏信号的马蹄估计量AI 解读

This paper proposes a new approach to sparsity, called the horseshoe estimator, which arises from a prior based on multivariate-normal scale mixtures. We describe the estimator’s advantages over existing approaches, including its robustness, adaptivity to different sparsity patterns and analytical tractability. We prove two theorems: one that characterizes the horseshoe estimator’s tail robustness and the other that demonstrates a super-efficient rate of convergence to the…

扩散过程离散观测的贝叶斯因子AI 解读

We present an approach to model selection for a time series of data on a fine time scale. The underlying process generating the data is modelled as a continuous time stochastic process. The underlying continuous processes are assumed to be diffusions with time varying drift and diffusion coefficient. Several approaches to modelling the diffusion coefficient are described. To perform model selection, we propose an approximation to the Bayes factor that uses only the discrete…
