Exponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
متن کاملVariational Approximations for Probabilistic Graphical Models
Graphical models are a framework that allows for the incorporation of prior knowledge in a convenient manner. These models are commonly used in a variety of fields, and were found useful in many applications. The computations required in some applications of interest are demanding or even infeasible, and existing approximations are not always sufficient. The focus of this thesis is the developm...
متن کاملIsing-like Models with Energy-Volume Coupling
We consider a regular assembly of singly occupied cells with two accessible volumes. Coupled to cell volumes are interaction energies between nearest neighbors that lead to a phase transition with a critical point. We find that these compressible cell models can serve as Ising-like prototypes of the one-component liquid-liquid and isostructural solid-solid phase transitions that originate in th...
متن کاملIsing models on locally tree-like graphs
We consider Ising models on graphs that converge locally to trees. Examples include random regular graphs with bounded degree and uniformly random graphs with bounded average degree. We prove that the ‘cavity’ prediction for the limiting free energy per spin is correct for any temperature and external field. Further, local marginals can be approximated by iterating a set of mean field (cavity) ...
متن کاملMartingale Approximations for Sums of Stationary Processes
Approximations to sums of stationary and ergodic sequences by martingales are investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for such sums to be asymptotically normal conditionally given the past up to time 0 are obtained. It is first shown that a martingale approximation is necessary for such normality and then that the sums are asymptotically normal if and only if the approximating marting...
