Variational inference for Student-t MLP models
This paper presents a novel methodology to infer parameters of probabilistic models whose output noise is a Student-t distribution. The method is an extension of earlier work for models that are linear in parameters to nonlinear multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs). We used an EM algorithm combined with variational approximation, the evidence procedure, and an optimisation algorithm. The technique wa...
متن کاملRegularized multivariate regression models with skew-t error distributions
We consider regularization of the parameters in multivariate linear regression models with the errors having a multivariate skew-t distribution. An iterative penalized likelihood procedure is proposed for constructing sparse estimators of both the regression coefficient and inverse scale matrices simultaneously. The sparsity is introduced through penalizing the negative log-likelihood by adding...
متن کاملStudent-t Process Regression with Student-t Likelihood
Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) is a powerful Bayesian method. However, the performance of GPR can be significantly degraded when the training data are contaminated by outliers, including target outliers and input outliers. Although there are some variants of GPR (e.g., GPR with Student-t likelihood (GPRT)) aiming to handle outliers, most of the variants focus on handling the target outliers ...
متن کاملMultivariate Student-t self-organizing maps
The original Kohonen's Self-Organizing Map model has been extended by several authors to incorporate an underlying probability distribution. These proposals assume mixtures of Gaussian probability densities. Here we present a new self-organizing model which is based on a mixture of multivariate Student-t components. This improves the robustness of the map against outliers, while it includes the...
متن کاملIdentication robust inference in multivariate reduced rank regression and factor models
We propose identi cation robust inference methods for multivariate reduced rank (MRR) regressions. Such models involve nonlinear restrictions on the coe¢ cients of a multivariate linear regression (MLR), whose identi cation may raise serious non-regularities leading to the failure of standard asymptotics. To circumvent such problems, we propose con dence set estimates for parameters of interest...
