Algorithms for Models with Intractable Normalizing Functions
Murali Haran, Bokgyeong Kang, Jaewoo Park
In this paper we discuss a well known computing problem -- inference for models with intractable normalizing functions. Models with intractable normalizing functions arise in a wid…

A Stein Gradient Descent Approach for Doubly Intractable Distributions
Heesang Lee, Songhee Kim, Bokgyeong Kang +1
Bayesian inference for doubly intractable distributions is challenging because they include intractable terms, which are functions of parameters of interest. Although several alter…

Fast Bayesian inference for spatial mean-parameterized Conway-Maxwell-Poisson models
Bokgyeong Kang, John Hughes, Murali Haran
Count data with complex features arise in many disciplines, including ecology, agriculture, criminology, medicine, and public health. Zero inflation, spatial dependence, and non-eq…
