Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In Bayesian estimation, the marginal likelihood ratio and Bayes factor are known as indicators for model selection. However, since the marginal likelihood ratio cannot be obtained analytically in general, it is usually estimated through approximation or sampling. In this study, we focus on the Wang-Landau (WL) method for estimating the ratio of marginal likelihoods between parameters for parameterized probability distributions. While a conventional WL method utilize the Markov-chain Monte-Carlo method internally, we propose the SVGD-WL method incorporating the WL method into Stein variational gradient descent (SVGD), a particle-based variational inference method. Then, we examine the proposed method for an one-dimensional Gaussian mixture model, and demonstrate an application to model selection in Bayesian LASSO for sparse signal recovery.
