We present a new view of Gaussian belief propagation (GaBP) based on a representation of the determinant as a product over orbits of a graph. We show that the GaBP determinant estimate captures totally backtracking orbits of the graph and consider how to correct this estimate. We show that the missing orbits may be grouped into equivalence classes corresponding to backtrackless orbits and the contribution of each equivalence class is easily determined from the GaBP solution. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this multiplicative correction factor can be interpreted as the determinant of a backtrackless adjacency matrix of the graph with edge weights based on GaBP. Finally, an efficient method is proposed to compute a truncated correction factor including all backtrackless orbits up to a specified length.
