On the Minimax Estimation Problem of a Fractional Derivative∗
We consider the problem of minimax estimating the fractional derivative of the order − 1 2 of an unknown function in the Gaussian white noise model. This problem is closely related to the well-known Wicksell problem. In this paper the second-order minimax approach is developed.
متن کاملMinimax Estimation of a Variance
The nonparametric problem of estimating a variance based on a sample of size n from a univariate distribution which has a known bounded range but is otherwise arbitrary is treated. For squared error loss, a certain linear function of the sample variance is seen to be minimax for each n from 2 through 13, except n = 4. For squared error loss weighted by the reciprocal of the variance, a constant...
متن کاملMotion Estimation with Incomplete Information Using Omni-Directional Vision
We present a new motion estimation framework and apply it to omni-directional imagery. Our method estimates motions incrementally using an Implicit Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF). Each individual feature provides partial information about the camera motion. The motion estimate is incrementally improved as each feature is processed, similar to the SCAAT approach. The SCAAT method was developed fo...
متن کاملMinimax Filtering via Relations between Information and Estimation
We investigate the problem of continuous-time causal estimation under a minimax criterion. Let X = {Xt, 0 ≤ t ≤ T} be governed by the probability law Pθ from a class of possible laws indexed by θ ∈ Λ, and Y T be the noise corrupted observations of X available to the estimator. We characterize the estimator minimizing the worst case regret, where regret is the difference between the causal estim...
متن کاملAsymptotically Minimax Estimation of a Function with Jumps
Asymptotically minimax nonparametric estimation of a regression function observed in white Gaussian noise over a bounded interval is considered, with respect to a L 2-loss function. The unknown function f is assumed to be m times diierentiable except for an unknown, though nite, number of jumps, with piecewise mth derivative bounded in L 2-norm. An estimator is constructed, attaining the same o...
