2 χ-Divergence Variational Inference We present the χ-divergence for variational inference. We describe some of its properties and develop CHIVI, a black box algorithm that minimizes the χ-divergence for a large class of models. 1It satisfies D(p q) ≥ 0 and D(p q) = 0 ⇐⇒ p...
We propose a Bayesian hierarchical linear log-contrast model for compositional data which is estimated by mean field Monte Carlo co-ordinate ascent variational inference. We use the alr transformation within a log-contrast model which removes the need to specify a reference category. Sparse variable ...
variational inference for fully Bayesian estimation. In addition, we discuss the differences between the proposed inference and deterministic inference approaches with these priors. Finally, we show the flexibility of this modeling by considering several extensions such as multiple measurements, within-group...
Inferring gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from single-cell data is challenging due to heuristic limitations. Existing methods also lack estimates of uncertainty. Here we present Probabilistic Matrix Factorization for Gene Regulatory Network Inference (PM
In Bayesian Inference, the problem is instead to study the posterior distribution of the weights given the data. Assume we have a prior α over ℝd. The posterior is This can be used for model selection, or prediction with Bayesian Model Averaging. Variational Inference It is usually impossib...
The objective is to compute q(ϑ) for each model by maximising F, and then compute F itself, for Bayesian inference and model comparison, respectively. Maximising the free energy minimises the divergence, rendering the variational density q(ϑ) ≈ p(ϑ|y,m) an approximate posterior, ...
In our case, we already know the approximate shape of the predicted variable and can incorporate this via a probability density function into our structural part of the model. As a result, the predetermined structure can be fitted fairly easily with variational inference and thus presents a path...
The early stopping and model selection criteria are both the 'valida- tion' AUPRC of the posterior point estimates of A, corresponding to the held out genes, against the entries for these genes in the full prior hyperparameter matrix. This step is motivated by the idea that inference using...
