Latent Dirichlet allocation — In statistics, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a generative model that allows sets of observations to be explained by unobserved groups which explain why some parts of the data are similar. For example, if observations are words collected… … Wikipedia
Message-passing method — Message passing methods are a set of algorithms in statistics/machine learning for doing inference through local computation. Belief propagation on Bayesian networks is a good example of a message passing method. Variational message passing… … Wikipedia

Bayesian network — A Bayesian network, Bayes network, belief network or directed acyclic graphical model is a probabilistic graphical model that represents a set of random variables and their conditional dependencies via a directed acyclic graph (DAG). For example … Wikipedia
Determination of equilibrium constants — Equilibrium constants are determined in order to quantify chemical equilibria. When an equilibrium constant is expressed as a concentration quotient, it is implied that the activity quotient is constant. In order for this assumption to be valid… … Wikipedia
