Before revision:  In particular, VB with nonconjugate variational message passing and the delta-method (VB-NCVMP-Delta) is relatively accurate and up to 15 times faster than MCMC and MSLE. On the whole , VB-NCVMP-Delta is most suitable for applications in which fastpredictions are paramount, while MCMC should be preferred in applications in which accurate inferences are most important .
