VB_DLM

Variational Bayesian Inference for Dynamic Linear Model

Important: Work in Progress

• For latest supported features, please refer to the development branch
• Under development:
  • Convergence check,
  • Overfitting test,
  • Integration with Turing.jl

Setup and Installation

You need to install Julia (1.9) and then Pluto to run the notebook.

Alternatively, static html files are availble for general browsing using any internet browser.

Usage

On your command prompt or terminal:

julia
               _

julia> using Pluto

julia> Pluto.run()

└ Opening http://localhost:1234/?secret=$$$$$ in your default browser... ~ have fun!
┌ Info: 
│ Press Ctrl+C in this terminal to stop Pluto
