This report provides details on CSA-SBL(VB) algorithm for the recovery of sparse signals with unknown clustering pattern. More specifically, we deal with the recovery of sparse signals with unknown clustering pattern in the case of having partial erroneous prior knowledge on the supports of the signal. In [1], we provided a modified sparse Bayesian learning model to incorporate prior knowledge and simultaneously learn the unknown clustering pattern. For this purpose, we added one more layer to support-aided sparse Bayesian learning algorithm (SA-SBL) that was proposed in [2]. This layer adds a prior on the shape parameters of Gamma distributions, those …
