Contributed Discussion to Computationally Efficient Multivariate Spatio-Temporal Models for High-Dimensional Count-Valued Data by Bradley et al

摘要

I begin my discussion by summarizing the methodology proposed and newdistributional results on multivariate log-Gamma derived in the paper. Then, Idraw an interesting connection between their work with mean field variationalBayes. Lastly, I make some comments on the simulation results and theperformance of the proposed P-MSTM procedure.
