Bayesian Likelihood Free Inference using Mixtures of Experts

Résumé

We extend Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood (BSL) methods to non-Gaussian approximations of the likelihood function. In this setting, we introduce Mixtures of Experts (MoEs), a class of neural network models, as surrogate likelihoods that exhibit desirable approximation theoretic properties. Moreover, MoEs can be estimated using Expectation-Maximization algorithm-based approaches, such as the Gaussian Locally Linear Mapping model estimators that we implement. Further, we provide theoretical evidence towards the ability of our procedure to estimate and approximate a wide range of likelihood functions. Through simulations, we demonstrate the superiority of our approach over existing BSL variants in terms of both posterior approximation accuracy and computational efficiency.
