235 nips-2008-The Infinite Hierarchical Factor Regression Model


Source: pdf

Author: Piyush Rai, Hal Daume

Abstract: We propose a nonparametric Bayesian factor regression model that accounts for uncertainty in the number of factors, and the relationship between factors. To accomplish this, we propose a sparse variant of the Indian Buffet Process and couple this with a hierarchical model over factors, based on Kingman’s coalescent. We apply this model to two problems (factor analysis and factor regression) in gene-expression data analysis. 1
