15 صفحه اولBayes Factor Consistency
Good large sample performance is typically a minimum requirement of any model selection criterion. This article focuses on the consistency property of the Bayes factor, a commonly used model comparison tool, which has experienced a recent surge of attention in the literature. We thoroughly review existing results. As there exists such a wide variety of settings to be considered, e.g. parametric...
متن کاملExpectation Consistent Approximate Inference
We propose a novel framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and can be seen as a generalization of adaptive TAP [1-3] and expectation propagation (EP) [4,5] The free energy is constructed from two approximating distributions which encode different aspects of the intractable model such ...
متن کاملFrequentist Consistency of Variational Bayes
A key challenge for modern Bayesian statistics is how to perform scalable inference of posterior distributions. To address this challenge, variational Bayes (vb) methods have emerged as a popular alternative to the classical Markov chain Monte Carlo (mcmc) methods. vb methods tend to be faster while achieving comparable predictive performance. However, there are few theoretical results around v...
متن کاملBayes-risk Consistency of Boosting
The probability of error of classification methods based on convex combinations of simple base classifiers by “boosting” algorithms is investigated. We show in this talk that certain regularized boosting algorithms provide Bayes-risk consistent classifiers under the only assumption that the Bayes classifier may be approximated by a convex combination of the base classifiers. Non-asymptotic dist...
