  • Logic sampling, likelihood weighting and AIS-BN : an exploration of importance sampling

    Creator:
    Wang, Haiou
    Abstract:
    Logic Sampling, Likelihood Weighting and AIS-BN are three variants of stochastic sampling, one class of approximate inference for Bayesian networks. We summarize the ideas underlying each algorithm and the relationship among them. The results from a set of empirical experiments comparing Logic Sampling, Likelihood Weighting and AIS-BN are presented. We...

  • Parameter estimation of Gaussian hierarchical model using Gibbs sampling

    Creator:
    Mbuthia, Juliana
    Abstract:
    Gibbs sampling method is an important tool used in parameter estimation for many probabilistic models. Specifically, for many scenarios, it is difficult to generate high-dimensional data samples from its joint distribution. The Gibbs sampling provides a way to draw high-dimensional data via the conditional distributions which are typically easier to...
