Generalized Laguerre expansions of multivariate probability densities with moments
We generalize the well-known Laguerre series approach to approximate multivariate probability density functions (PDFs) using multidimensional Laguerre polynomials. The generalized Laguerre series, which is defined around a Gamma PDF, is suited for simulating high complex natural phenomena that deviate from Gaussianity. Combining the multivariate Laguerre approximation and Bayes theorem, an appr...
متن کاملThe Maximum Entropy Method Of Moments And Bayesian Probability Theory
The problem of density estimation occurs in many disciplines. For example, in MRI it is often necessary to classify the types of tissues in an image. To perform this classification one must first identify the characteristics of the tissues to be classified. These characteristics might be the intensity of a T1 weighted image and in MRI many other types of characteristic weightings (classifiers) ...
متن کاملCalculating Maximum-Entropy Probability densities for Belief Functions
A common procedure for selecting a particular density from a given class of densities is to choose one with maximum entropy. The problem addressed here is this. Let S be a nite set and let B be a belief function on 2 . Then B induces a density on 2 , which in turn induces a host of densities on S. Provide an algorithm for choosing from this host of densities one with maximum entropy.
متن کاملMoment information and entropy evaluation for probability densities
Howmuch information does the sequence of integer moments carry about the corresponding unknown absolutely continuous distribution? We prove that a reliable evaluation of the corresponding Shannon entropy can be done by exploiting some known theoretical results on the entropy convergence, uniquely involving exact moments without solving the underlying moment problem. All the procedure essentiall...
متن کاملDetermination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.
