Abstract
We describe a variational Bayes (VB) learning algorithm for generalized autoregressive (GAR) models. The noise is modeled as a mixture of Gaussians rather than the usual single Gaussian. This allows different data points to be associated with different noise levels and effectively provides robust estimation of AR coefficients. The VB framework is used to prevent overfitting and provides model-order selection criteria both for AR order and noise model order. We show that for the special case of Gaussian noise and uninformative priors on the noise and weight precisions, the VB framework reduces to the Bayesian evidence framework. The algorithm is applied to synthetic and real data with encouraging results.Keywords
