New Bayesian framework SME-BETEL tackles intractable models

Researchers have introduced SME-BETEL, a novel Bayesian framework designed to tackle statistical models with computationally intractable normalizing constants. This semiparametric approach combines score matching estimating equations with Bayesian exponentially tilted empirical likelihood, enabling robust inference without needing to evaluate these constants or calibrate learning rates. The framework also includes a new criterion for mixed-domain data, extending its applicability to models with observations from different sample spaces, which is demonstrated through simulations and an ozone-monitoring application.

    Robust Bayesian Inference for Unnormalized Models with Mixed-Domain Data

    arXiv:2609.01783v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many statistical models involve parameter-dependent normalizing constants that are computationally intractable, creating substantial obstacles to standard Bayesian inference. Although existing likelihood-based algorithms can often…
