A flow-based generative model is a generative model used in machine learning that explicitly models a probability distribution by leveraging normalizing flow, [1] [2] [3] which is a statistical method using the change-of-variable law of probabilities to transform a simple distribution into a complex one.
Probabilistic epigenesis is a way of understanding human behavior based on the relationship between experience and biology. [1] It is a variant form of epigenetics, proposed by American psychologist Gilbert Gottlieb in 1991. [1] Gottlieb’s model is based on Conrad H. Waddington's idea of developmental epigenesis. [2]
Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) are a family of statistical models for analyzing data from social and other networks. [1] [2] Examples of networks examined using ERGM include knowledge networks, [3] organizational networks, [4] colleague networks, [5] social media networks, networks of scientific development, [6] and others.
In the simplest cases, normalization of ratings means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale, often prior to averaging. In more complicated cases, normalization may refer to more sophisticated adjustments where the intention is to bring the entire probability distributions of adjusted values into alignment.
Simultaneously, machine learning techniques, including normalizing flows, can infer long-term patterns and behaviors from data from a short period. People can take advantage of running small-scale simulations that are more efficient for predictions, especially with characteristic models.
Probabilistic formulation of inverse problems leads to the definition of a probability distribution in the model space. This probability distribution combines prior information with new information obtained by measuring some observable parameters (data). As, in the general case, the theory linking data with model parameters is nonlinear, the ...
In statistics, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a class of algorithms used to draw samples from a probability distribution. Given a probability distribution, one can construct a Markov chain whose elements' distribution approximates it – that is, the Markov chain's equilibrium distribution matches the target distribution. The more steps ...
Bayesian learning mechanisms are probabilistic causal models [1] used in computer science to research the fundamental underpinnings of machine learning, and in cognitive neuroscience, to model conceptual development. [2] [3]
