Random Projections with Bayesian Priors
The technique of random projection is one of dimension reduction, where high dimensional vectors in RD are projected down to a smaller subspace in Rk. Certain forms of distances or distance kernels such as Euclidean distances, inner products [10], and lp distances [12] between high dimensional vectors are approximately preserved in this smaller dimensional subspace. Word vectors which are repre...
متن کاملBlock Gibbs sampling for Bayesian random effects models with improper priors: Convergence and regeneration
Bayesian versions of the classical one-way random effects model are widely used to analyze data. If the standard diffuse prior is adopted, there is a simple block Gibbs sampler that can be employed to explore the intractable posterior distribution. In this paper, theoretical and methodological results are developed that allow one to use this block Gibbs sampler with the same level of confidence...
متن کاملGeneralized spike-and-slab priors for Bayesian group feature selection using expectation propagation
We describe a Bayesian method for group feature selection in linear regression problems. The method is based on a generalized version of the standard spike-and-slab prior distribution which is often used for individual feature selection. Exact Bayesian inference under the prior considered is infeasible for typical regression problems. However, approximate inference can be carried out efficientl...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Generalized Additive Mixed Models Based on Markov Random ®eld Priors
Most regression problems in practice require ¯exible semiparametric forms of the predictor for modelling the dependence of responses on covariates. Moreover, it is often necessary to add random effects accounting for overdispersion caused by unobserved heterogeneity or for correlation in longitudinal or spatial data. We present a uni®ed approach for Bayesian inference via Markov chain Monte Car...
متن کاملBayesian Determination of Sample Size in Longitudinal Studies with Binary Responses Using Random Effects Models
Sample size determination is important in all statistical studies including longitudinal studies. This is usually done by considering a target power to reduce the costs of sampling. Choosing the right sample size using efficient methods, ensures that the researcher achieve goal of the study, by spending the least amount of energy, time and money. In this article, using a method based on simulat...
