Bayesian Inference for Big Data with Stochastic Gradient Markov Chain Monte Carlo

Lead Research Organisation: University of Bristol
Department Name: Mathematics

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Scalable algorithms to handle statistical models involving latent variables. These are models which require the specification of unobserved variables (the latent variables) which must be imputed. This may be computationally expensive, in particular for large datasets, and the methods developed address this problem.
Exploitation Route The work produced is going to be made available through arxiv and will hopefully be published in the future.
