Bayesian inference and priors
Bayesian Inference for Spatio-temporal Spike-and-Slab Priors
... We investigated the role of the spatio-temporal prior and the approximation schemes in a series of experiments. First we studied a simple 1D problem with spatial, translational invariant smoothness of the support (single ...

Application of Gaussian Process Priors on Bayesian Regression
