متن کاملFixed-Form Variational Posterior Approximation through Stochastic Linear Regression
We propose a general algorithm for approximating nonstandard Bayesian posterior distributions. The algorithm minimizes the Kullback-Leibler divergence of an approximating distribution to the intractable posterior distribution. Our method can be used to approximate any posterior distribution, provided that it is given in closed form up to the proportionality constant. The approximation can be an...
متن کاملRegularized Iterative Stochastic Approximation Methods for Variational Inequality Problems
We consider a Cartesian stochastic variational inequality problem with a monotone map. For this problem, we develop and analyze distributed iterative stochastic approximation algorithms. Such a problem arises, for example, as an equilibrium problem in monotone stochastic Nash games over continuous strategy sets. We introduce two classes of stochastic approximation methods, each of which require...
متن کاملLaplace Approximation for Logistic Gaussian Process Density Estimation and Regression
Logistic Gaussian process (LGP) priors provide a flexible alternative for modelling unknown densities. The smoothness properties of the density estimates can be controlled through the prior covariance structure of the LGP, but the challenge is the analytically intractable inference. In this paper, we present approximate Bayesian inference for LGP density estimation in a grid using Laplace’s met...
متن کاملStochastic Approximation Methods for Latent Regression Item Response Models
This paper presents an application of a stochastic approximation EM-algorithm using a Metropolis-Hastings sampler to estimate the parameters of an item response latent regression model. Latent regression models are extensions of item response theory (IRT) to a 2-level latent variable model in which covariates serve as predictors of the conditional distribution of ability. Applications for estim...
