Chapter Description

In this chapter, we introduce a Bayesian sparse estimation method, called a sparse additive matrix factorization (SAMF). SAMF generalizes probabilistic matrix factorization which allows various types of sparsity design in a unified framework, and contains a Bayesian variant of robust PCA.
