New adaptive mixture method improves Gaussian regression accuracy

Researchers have developed an adaptive fitting procedure for mixtures of product distributions in Gaussian regression, specifically addressing challenges posed by correlated predictors. This new method directly minimizes reverse Kullback-Leibler divergence on inclusion indicators and active coefficients, allowing for joint refinement of component parameters and weights. The analysis establishes conditions for approximation accuracy, contraction, selection consistency, and a Bernstein-von Mises approximation, demonstrating improved accuracy in inclusion probabilities and coefficient covariance compared to traditional mean-field approximations on simulated datasets.
