Covariance Matrices for Mean Field Variational Bayes
With increasingly efficient data collection methods, scientists are interested in quickly analyzing ever larger data sets. In particular, the promise of these large data sets is not simply to fit old models but instead to learn more nuanced patterns from data than has been possible in the past. In theory, the Bayesian paradigm promises exactly these desiderata. Hierarchical modeling allows prac...
متن کاملSemiparametric Mean Field Variational Bayes: General Principles and Numerical Issues
We introduce the term semiparametric mean field variational Bayes to describe the relaxation of mean field variational Bayes in which some density functions in the product density restriction are pre-specified to be members of convenient parametric families. This notion has appeared in various guises in the mean field variational Bayes literature during its history and we endeavor to unify this...
متن کاملMean Field Variational Approximation for Continuous-Time Bayesian Networks
Continuous-time Bayesian networks is a natural structured representation language for multicomponent stochastic processes that evolve continuously over time. Despite the compact representation, inference in such models is intractable even in relatively simple structured networks. Here we introduce a mean field variational approximation in which we use a product of inhomogeneous Markov processes...

متن کاملStreamlined mean field variational Bayes for longitudinal and multilevel data analysis.
Streamlined mean field variational Bayes algorithms for efficient fitting and inference in large models for longitudinal and multilevel data analysis are obtained. The number of operations is linear in the number of groups at each level, which represents a two orders of magnitude improvement over the naïve approach. Storage requirements are also lessened considerably. We treat models for the Ga...
