Incomplete Data : Structure Scores (cont.)

Bayesian:

• We cannot evaluate the marginal likelihood

• We have to resort to approximations:

  • Asymptotic approximations
    • Evaluate score around MAP parameters
    • Need to find MAP parameters (e.g., EM)
  • Stochastic approximations
    • Apply stochastic integration methods
    • Much slower
