bayespy.inference.vmp.nodes.gaussian.GaussianDistribution

class bayespy.inference.vmp.nodes.gaussian.GaussianDistribution(shape)[source]

Class for the VMP formulas of Gaussian variables.

Currently, supports only vector variables.

Notes

Message passing equations:

\mathbf{x} &\sim \mathcal{N}(\boldsymbol{\mu}, \mathbf{\Lambda}),

\mathbf{x},\boldsymbol{\mu} \in \mathbb{R}^{D}, \quad \mathbf{\Lambda} \in \mathbb{R}^{D \times D}, \quad \mathbf{\Lambda} \text{ symmetric positive definite}

\log\mathcal{N}( \mathbf{x} | \boldsymbol{\mu}, \mathbf{\Lambda} ) &= - \frac{1}{2} \mathbf{x}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathbf{\Lambda} \mathbf{x} + \mathbf{x}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathbf{\Lambda} \boldsymbol{\mu} - \frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{\mu}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathbf{\Lambda} \boldsymbol{\mu} + \frac{1}{2} \log |\mathbf{\Lambda}| - \frac{D}{2} \log (2\pi)
