Prior Density Learning in Variational Bayesian Phylogenetic Parameters Inference

چکیده
The advances in variational inference are providing promising paths Bayesian estimation problems. These make phylogenetic an alternative approach to Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for approximating the posterior. However, one of main drawbacks such approaches is modelling prior through fixed distributions, which could bias posterior approximation if they distant from current data distribution. In this paper, we propose and implementation framework relax rigidity densities by learning their parameters using a gradient-based method neural network-based parameterization. We applied branch lengths evolutionary under several chain substitution models. results performed simulations show that powerful estimating model parameters. They also flexible provide better than predefined model. Finally, highlight networks improves initialization optimization density

Empirical evaluation of a prior for Bayesian phylogenetic inference.
The Bayesian method of phylogenetic inference often produces high posterior probabilities (PPs) for trees or clades, even when the trees are clearly incorrect. The problem appears to be mainly due to large sizes of molecular datasets and to the large-sample properties of Bayesian model selection and its sensitivity to the prior when several of the models under comparison are nearly equally corr...
متن کاملVariational Bayesian Inference Note
When we use EM that uses maximum likelihood as a criterion to select the number of Gaussians, we face the problem of that as the complexity of model increases, the training likihood strictly improves, which means the larger number of Gaussians, the better fit of the training data (see Figure 1). We can see from this example, the traning log-likelihood can even become positive when some clusters...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
متن کاملPolytomies and Bayesian phylogenetic inference.
Bayesian phylogenetic analyses are now very popular in systematics and molecular evolution because they allow the use of much more realistic models than currently possible with maximum likelihood methods. There are, however, a growing number of examples in which large Bayesian posterior clade probabilities are associated with very short branch lengths and low values for non-Bayesian measures of...
متن کاملBayesPy: Variational Bayesian Inference in Python
BayesPy is an open-source Python software package for performing variational Bayesian inference. It is based on the variational message passing framework and supports conjugate exponential family models. By removing the tedious task of implementing the variational Bayesian update equations, the user can construct models faster and in a less error-prone way. Simple syntax, flexible model constru...
