ML EPS REG

ML_EPS_REG = [real]
Default: ML_EPS_REG = 1E-14 

Description: Threshold for the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix in the evidence approximation.

---

This threshold is used to determine which eigenvalues ${\lambda }_k$ of the covariance matrix ${\mathrm{\Phi }}^{\mathrm{T}}\mathrm{\Phi }/{\sigma }_{\mathrm{v}}^2$ are used in the optimization of the regularization parameters ${\sigma }_{\mathrm{w}}^2$ and ${\sigma }_{\mathrm{v}}^2$ determined by the following equations

${\sigma }_{\mathrm{w}}^2=\frac{|\overline{\mathbf{w}}{|}^2}{\gamma },$

${\sigma }_{\mathrm{v}}^2=\frac{|\mathbf{𝐓}-\mathit{\varphi }\overline{\mathbf{w}}{|}^2}{M-\gamma },$

$\gamma =\sum _{k=1}^{N_{\mathrm{B}}}\frac{{\lambda }_k}{{\lambda }_k+1/{\sigma }_{\mathrm{w}}^2}$.

All eigenvalues satisfying ${\lambda }_i/{\lambda }_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}}$ > ML_EPS_REG are contributing by the above equations. All eigenvalues not satisfying that relation are contributing as

$\frac{{\lambda }_k}{+1/{\sigma }_{\mathrm{w}}^2}$
