Bayesian Ridge Regression/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Ridge Regression

Bayesian Ridge Regression is a probabilistic formulation of ridge regression, introduced by David J. C. MacKay in 1992, in which the regularisation strength and noise precision are not fixed by the analyst but are instead estimated automatically by maximising the marginal likelihood (evidence) of the observed data. The result is a full posterior distribution over the regression weights together with calibrated predictive uncertainty.
