Efficient Bayesian reduced rank regression using Langevin Monte Carlo approach
share
The problem of Bayesian reduced rank regression is considered in this paper. We propose, for the first time, to use Langevin Monte Carlo method in this problem. A spectral scaled Student prior distrbution is used to exploit the underlying low-rank structure of the coefficient matrix. We show that our algorithms are significantly faster than the Gibbs sampler in high-dimensional setting. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithms for Bayesian reduced rank regression are comparable to the state-of-the-art method where the rank is chosen by cross validation.
