1.Latent variable models and EM algorithm

We want to model a high dimension random vector $\boldsymbol{x}$, which can often be described by only a few latent factors $\boldsymbol{z}$. LVM take a two-step generation scheme:

1.Change of variables formula

Normalizing Flows (NF) can model flexible distributions for data sampling and density estimation. The idea is based on change of variables formula, applying a series of transformations on a simple distribution to approximate a complex distribution.

1.Background

Convergent Cross Mapping (CCM) is a method for establishing causality from long time series data (\(\geq 25\) observations). The method was first proposed in 1990 by Sugihara et al and revisited in 2012.
