Laplace's approximation: Products, Integrated nested Laplace approximation & Overview

Laplace's approximation or the quadratic approximation (QUAP) provides an analytical expression for a posterior probability distribution by fitting a Gaussian distribution with a mean equal to the MAP solution and precision equal to the observed Fisher information. The approximation is justified by the Bernstein–von Mises theorem, which states that…
