Abstract
This paper discusses Expectation-Propagation (EP) methods for approximate Bayesian inference in the context of linear regression with Poisson noise. We review two main factor graphs used for generalized linear models and discuss how different EP algorithms can be derived. The estimation per- formance based on EP approximations is compared to the per- formance using Monte Carlo sampling from the exact poste- rior distribution. In particular, we observe that using locally independent or isotropic approximate factors enables more robust and scalable algorithms while providing reliable pos- terior means and marginal variances.
