Bayesian models gain exact posterior computation for mixture weights · arXiv paper

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new paper details an exact method for computing the posterior distribution of mixture weights in hierarchical Bayesian models. The proposed dynamic programming approach, with an FFT variant for efficiency, provides closed-form posterior summaries and credible intervals without sampling. This method demonstrates superior calibration and speed compared to existing techniques like EM, Gaussian, and Laplace approximations, particularly in small-sample regimes and for specific biological analyses.
