MCMC for a hyperbolic Bayesian inverse problem in traffic flow modelling

Jeremie Coullon, Yvo Pokern

英文摘要：

As a Bayesian approach to fitting motorway traffic flow models remains rare in the literature, we explore empirically the sampling challenges this approach offers which have to do with the strong correlations and multi-modality of the posterior distribution. In particular, we provide a unified statistical model to estimate using motorway data both boundary conditions and fundamental diagram parameters in LWR, a well known motorway traffic flow model. This allows us to provide a traffic flow density estimation method that is shown to be superior to two methods found in the traffic flow literature. To sample from this challenging posterior distribution we use a state-of-the-art gradient-free function space sampler augmented with parallel tempering.

Traffic prediction at signalised intersections using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation

A Bayesian approach to predicting traffic flows at signalised intersections is considered using the the INLA framework. INLA is a deterministic, computationally efficient alternative to MCMC for estimating a posterior distribution. It is designed for latent Gaussian models where the parameters follow a joint Gaussian distribution. An assumption which naturally evolves from an LGM is that of a Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF). It can be shown that a traffic prediction model based in both space and time satisfies this assumption, and as such the INLA algorithm provides accurate prediction whe…

Network tomography for integer-valued traffic

A classic network tomography problem is estimation of properties of the distribution of route traffic volumes based on counts taken on the network links. We consider inference for a general class of models for integer-valued traffic. Model identifiability is examined. We investigate both maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods of estimation. In practice, these must be implemented using stochastic EM and MCMC approaches. This requires a methodology for sampling latent route flows conditional on the observed link counts. We show that existing algorithms for doing so can fail entirely, because in…

Modeling Advection on Directed Graphs using Matérn Gaussian Processes for Traffic Flow

The transport of traffic flow can be modeled by the advection equation. Finite difference and finite volumes methods have been used to numerically solve this hyperbolic equation on a mesh. Advection has also been modeled discretely on directed graphs using the graph advection operator [4, 18]. In this paper, we first show that we can reformulate this graph advection operator as a finite difference scheme. We then propose the Directed Graph Advection Matérn Gaussian Process (DGAMGP) model that incorporates the dynamics of this graph advection operator into the kernel of a trainable Matérn Gauss…

Fast Bayesian Estimation of Spatial Count Data Models

Imperial College London（帝国理工学院）；Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne（洛桑联邦理工学院）

Spatial count data models are used to explain and predict the frequency of phenomena such as traffic accidents in geographically distinct entities such as census tracts or road segments. These models are typically estimated using Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation methods, which, however, are computationally expensive and do not scale well to large datasets. Variational Bayes (VB), a method from machine learning, addresses the shortcomings of MCMC by casting Bayesian estimation as an optimisation problem instead of a simulation problem. Considering all these advantages of VB, …

Bayesian calibration of traffic flow fundamental diagrams using Gaussian processes

Modeling the relationship between vehicle speed and density on the road is a fundamental problem in traffic flow theory. Recent research found that using the least-squares (LS) method to calibrate single-regime speed-density models is biased because of the uneven distribution of samples. This paper explains the issue of the LS method from a statistical perspective: the biased calibration is caused by the correlations/dependencies in regression residuals. Based on this explanation, we propose a new calibration method for single-regime speed-density models by modeling the covariance of residuals…

Simulation of multivariate diffusion bridge

We propose simple methods for multivariate diffusion bridge simulation, which plays a fundamental role in simulation-based likelihood and Bayesian inference for stochastic differential equations. By a novel application of classical coupling methods, the new approach generalizes a previously proposed simulation method for one-dimensional bridges to the multi-variate setting. First a method of simulating approximate, but often very accurate, diffusion bridges is proposed. These approximate bridges are used as proposal for easily implementable MCMC algorithms that produce exact diffusion bridges.…

Analyzing and Storing Network Intrusion Detection Data using Bayesian Coresets: A Preliminary Study in Offline and Streaming Settings

University of Oslo（奥斯陆大学）

In this paper we offer a preliminary study of the application of Bayesian coresets to network security data. Network intrusion detection is a field that could take advantage of Bayesian machine learning in modelling uncertainty and managing streaming data; however, the large size of the data sets often hinders the use of Bayesian learning methods based on MCMC. Limiting the amount of useful data is a central problem in a field like network traffic analysis, where large amount of redundant data can be generated very quickly via packet collection. Reducing the number of samples would not only ma…
