Log-Likelihood derivatives
 
 
We have to minimize  w.r.t.  and .

Therefore, let us calculate its derivatives w.r.t. the hyperparameters :
 

 
we get :   
 
where  = expectation calculated with  X samples
which are images following the probability law :  .
We must also calculate two types of expectations :
 
   a priori law :  to take into account the constraints
  a posteriori law   w.r.t. the data
