Estimation of Noise-Free Variance to Measure Heterogeneity
Variance is a statistical parameter used to characterize heterogeneity or variability in data sets. However, measurements commonly include noise, as random errors superimposed to the actual value, which may substantially increase the variance compared to a noise-free data set. Our aim was to develop and validate a method to estimate noise-free spatial heterogeneity of pulmonary perfusion using ...
متن کاملNoise Variance Estimation in Images
Figure 3: The distribution of the estimated noise in an image (Lenna) to which noise with a uniform shaped distribution is added. Also shown are the true noise distribution and the theoretically estimated distribution. The latter is obtained by convolving the (truncated) uniform function with a normal function.
متن کاملNearest Neighbor Distributions and Noise Variance Estimation
In this paper, we address the problem of deriving bounds for the moments of nearest neighbor distributions. The bounds are formulated for the general case and specifically applied to the problem of noise variance estimation with the Delta test and the Gamma test. For this problem, we focus on the rate of convergence and the bias of the estimators and validate the theoretical achievements with e...
متن کاملComment on “ An unbiased measure of realized variance ” and “ Realized variance and market microstructure noise ”
If efficient asset prices follow a semi-martingale and are perfectly observed, their quadratic variation can be measured accurately from the sum of a large number of squared returns sampled over very finely spaced intervals, i.e., realized variance (Andersen et al., 2003, and Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard, 2002). With the emergence of high-frequency data, it seems that we should be able to ide...
متن کاملHigh dimensional matrix estimation with unknown variance of the noise
Assume that we observe a small set of entries or linear combinations of entries of an unknown matrix A0 corrupted by noise. We propose a new method for estimating A0 which does not rely on the knowledge or an estimation of the standard deviation of the noise σ. Our estimator achieves, up to a logarithmic factor, optimal rates of convergence under the Frobenius risk and, thus, has the same predi...
