状态空间模型的高效变分近似AI 解读

Variational Bayes methods are a potential scalable estimation approach for state space models. However, existing methods are inaccurate or computationally infeasible for many state space models. This paper proposes a variational approximation that is accurate and fast for any model with a closed-form measurement density function and a state transition distribution within the exponential family of distributions. We show that our method can accurately and quickly estimate a…

多项 Probit 模型的快速变分贝叶斯方法AI 解读

The multinomial probit model is often used to analyze choice behaviour. However, estimation with existing Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods is computationally costly, which limits its applicability to large choice data sets. This paper proposes a variational Bayes method that is accurate and fast, even when a large number of choice alternatives and observations are considered. Variational methods usually require an analytical expression for the unnormalized posterior…
