Target-aware Bayesian inference via generalized thermodynamic integration

F. Llorente, L. Martino, D. Delgado

In Bayesian inference, we are usually interested in the numerical approximation of integrals that are posterior expectations or marginal likelihoods (a.k.a., Bayesian evidence). In…

On the safe use of prior densities for Bayesian model selection

F. Llorente, L. Martino, E. Curbelo +2

The application of Bayesian inference for the purpose of model selection is very popular nowadays. In this framework, models are compared through their marginal likelihoods, or the…

Optimality in Noisy Importance Sampling

Fernando Llorente, Luca Martino, Jesse Read +1

In this work, we analyze the noisy importance sampling (IS), i.e., IS working with noisy evaluations of the target density. We present the general framework and derive optimal prop…

MCMC-driven importance samplers

F. Llorente, E. Curbelo, L. Martino +2

Monte Carlo sampling methods are the standard procedure for approximating complicated integrals of multidimensional posterior distributions in Bayesian inference. In this work, we…

Adaptive quadrature schemes for Bayesian inference via active learning

F. Llorente, L. Martino, V. Elvira +2

Numerical integration and emulation are fundamental topics across scientific fields. We propose novel adaptive quadrature schemes based on an active learning procedure. We consider…

Marginal likelihood computation for model selection and hypothesis testing: an extensive review

Fernando Llorente, Luca Martino, David Delgado +1

This is an up-to-date introduction to, and overview of, marginal likelihood computation for model selection and hypothesis testing. Computing normalizing constants of probability m…
