Hello,
Is the guide distribution represented by AutoLaplaceApproximation somehow related to the Laplace distribution (like the Laplace PyTorch distribution)? If yes, how are they related?
Sorry if this is a silly question to ask.
Thank you,
They are different. Laplace approximation is a method used to approximate a posterior distribution by a Gaussian distribution. Laplace distribution is a distribution. Both are named after Pierre-Simon Laplace. There are also Laplace transform,…
