Variational Bayesian Variable Selection in Logistic Regression Based on Spike-and-Slab Lasso by Juanjuan Zhang, Weixian Wang, Mingming Yang, Maozai Tian

“…The method of introducing a new hidden variable or approximating the lower bound is used to solve the problem of logistic functions without conjugate priors. The Laplace distribution in spike-and-slab Lasso is expressed as a hierarchical form of normal distribution and exponential distribution, so that all parameters in the model are posterior distributions that are easy to deal with. …”
