Variational Bayesian Multinomial Probit Regression with Gaussian Process Priors
It is well known in the statistics literature that augmenting binary and polychotomous response models with gaussian latent variables enables exact Bayesian analysis viaGibbs sampling from the parameter posterior. By adopting such a data augmentation strategy, dispensing with priors over regression coefficients in favor of gaussian process (GP) priors over functions, and employing variational a...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Ordinal Data Using Multivariate Probit Models
Multivariate ordinal data arise in many areas of applications. This paper proposes new efficient methodology for Bayesian inference for multivariate probit models using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. The key idea for our approach is the novel use of parameter expansion to sample correlation matrices. We also propose methodology for model selection. Our approach is demonstrated through sev...
متن کاملOn Bayesian Inference for Stochastic Kinetic Models using Diffusion Approximations
This paper is concerned with the Bayesian estimation of stochastic rate constants in the context of dynamic models of intra-cellular processes. The underlying discrete stochastic kinetic model is replaced by a diffusion approximation (or stochastic differential equation approach) where a white noise term models stochastic behaviour and the model is identified using equispaced time course data. ...
متن کاملRobust Bayesian Inference Using the Mixture Priors
In Bayesian estimation the posterior distribution is proportional to likelihood function and the prior density of the parameter. Thus Bayesian inference, most often, is affected by the prior density. In this paper we look at how we can make Bayesian inference more robust against a poorly specified prior. We find that using a mixture of conjugate priors enables us to do this. We allow a small pr...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Bayesian Inference Via Variational Approximations∗
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have facilitated an explosion of interest in Bayesian methods. MCMC is an incredibly useful and important tool, but can face difficulties when used to estimate complex posteriors or models applied to large data sets. In this paper I show how a recently developed tool in computer science for fitting Bayesian models, variational approximations, can be used ...
