Efficient Amortized Bayesian Inference for Markov Random Fields via Gradient-Informed Grid Selection

Laura Bazahica, Alejandra Avalos-Pacheco, Matthew Moores +1

Bayesian inference for models with intractable likelihoods, such as Markov random fields, poses a fundamental computational challenge due to the tradeoff between inferential accura…

Identifiability and amortized inference limitations in Kuramoto models

Emma Hannula, Jana de Wiljes, Matthew T. Moores +2

Bayesian inference is a powerful tool for parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification in dynamical systems. However, for nonlinear oscillator networks such as Kuramoto mode…

Here Be Dragons: Bimodal posteriors arise from numerical integration error in longitudinal models

Tess O'Brien, Matthew T. Moores, David Warton +1

Longitudinal models with dynamics governed by differential equations may require numerical integration alongside parameter estimation. We have identified a situation where the nume…

Scalable Bayesian Inference for the Inverse Temperature of a Hidden Potts Model

Matthew T. Moores, Geoff K. Nicholls, Anthony N. Pettitt +1

The inverse temperature parameter of the Potts model governs the strength of spatial cohesion and therefore has a major influence over the resulting model fit. A difficulty arises…

An external field prior for the hidden Potts model, with application to cone-beam computed tomography

Matthew T. Moores, Catriona E. Hargrave, Fiona Harden +1

In images with low contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), the information gain from the observed pixel values can be insufficient to distinguish foreground objects. A Bayesian approach to…

Pre-processing for approximate Bayesian computation in image analysis

Matthew T. Moores, Christopher C. Drovandi, Kerrie Mengersen +1

Most of the existing algorithms for approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) assume that it is feasible to simulate pseudo-data from the model at each iteration. However, the computa…
