Functional Brain Response to Emotional Muical Stimuli in Depression, Using INLA Approach for Approximate Bayesian Inference
Introduction: One of the vital skills which has an impact on emotional health and well-being is the regulation of emotions. In recent years, the neural basis of this process has been considered widely. One of the powerful tools for eliciting and regulating emotion is music. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) is part of the emotional neural circuitry involved in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)....
متن کاملPerturbative corrections for approximate inference in Gaussian latent variable models
Expectation Propagation (EP) provides a framework for approximate inference. When the model under consideration is over a latent Gaussian field, with the approximation being Gaussian, we show how these approximations can systematically be corrected. A perturbative expansion is made of the exact but intractable correction, and can be applied to the model’s partition function and other moments of...
متن کاملApproximate Inference for Deep Latent Gaussian Mixtures
Deep latent Gaussian models (DLGMs) composed of density and inference networks [14]—the pipeline that defines a Variational Autoencoder [8]—have achieved notable success on tasks ranging from image modeling [3] to semi-supervised classification [6, 11]. However, the approximate posterior in these models is usually chosen to be a factorized Gaussian, thereby imposing strong constraints on the po...
متن کاملMean-field variational approximate Bayesian inference for latent variable models
The ill-posed nature of missing variable models offers a challenging testing ground for new computational techniques. This is the case for the mean-field variational Bayesian inference. The behavior of this approach in the setting of the Bayesian probit model is illustrated. It is shown that the mean-field variational method always underestimates the posterior variance and, that, for small samp...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models by using integrated nested Laplace approximations
Structured additive regression models are perhaps the most commonly used class of models in statistical applications. It includes, among others, (generalized) linear models, (generalized) additive models, smoothing spline models, state space models, semiparametric regression, spatial and spatiotemporal models, log-Gaussian Cox processes and geostatistical and geoadditive models. We consider app...
