Scalable and Robust Bayesian Inference via the Median Posterior
Many Bayesian learning methods for massive data benefit from working with small subsets of observations. In particular, significant progress has been made in scalable Bayesian learning via stochastic approximation. However, Bayesian learning methods in distributed computing environments are often problemor distributionspecific and use ad hoc techniques. We propose a novel general approach to Ba...
متن کاملRobust and Private Bayesian Inference
We examine the robustness and privacy of Bayesian inference, under assumptions on the prior, and with no modifications to the Bayesian framework. First, we generalise the concept of differential privacy to arbitrary dataset distances, outcome spaces and distribution families. We then prove bounds on the robustness of the posterior, introduce a posterior sampling mechanism, show that it is diffe...
متن کاملBayesian inference via projections
Bayesian inference often poses difficult computational problems. Even when off-the-shelf Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are available to the problem at hand, mixing issues might compromise the quality of the results. We introduce a framework for situations where the model space can be naturally divided into two components: i. a baseline black-box probability distribution for the observ...
متن کاملBayesian inference via rejection filtering
We provide a method for approximating Bayesian inference using rejection sampling. We not only make the process efficient, but also dramatically reduce the memory required relative to conventional methods by combining rejection sampling with particle filtering. We also provide an approximate form of rejection sampling that makes rejection filtering tractable in cases where exact rejection sampl...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian ARX models for robust inference
Gaussian innovations are the typical choice in most ARX models but using other distributions such as the Student’s t could be useful. We demonstrate that this choice of distribution for the innovations provides an increased robustness to data anomalies, such as outliers and missing observations. We consider these models in a Bayesian setting and perform inference using numerical procedures base...
