Empirical estimation of entropy functionals with confidence
Nonparametric estimation of functionals of density from finite number of samples is an important tool in domains such as statistics, signal processing and machine learning. While several estimators have been proposed in literature, the performance of these estimators is not known. We propose a kNN class of plug-in estimators for estimating non-linear functionals of density, such as entropy, mut...
متن کاملHigher order influence functions and minimax estimation of nonlinear functionals
We present a theory of point and interval estimation for nonlinear functionals in parametric, semi-, and non-parametric models based on higher order influence functions (Robins (2004), Section 9; Li et al. (2004), Tchetgen et al. (2006), Robins et al. (2007)). Higher order influence functions are higher order U-statistics. Our theory extends the first order semiparametric theory of Bickel et al...
متن کاملHigher order Inuence Functions and Minimax Estimation of Nonlinear Functionals
We present a theory of point and interval estimation for nonlinear functionals in parametric, semi-, and non-parametric models based on higher order inuence functions (Robins [18], Sec. 9; Li et al. [10], Tchetgen et al, [23], Robins et al, [20]). Higher order inuence functions are higher order U-statistics. Our theory extends the rst order semiparametric theory of Bickel et al. [3] and van ...
متن کاملNonlinear modeling with confidence estimation using Bayesian neural networks
There is a growing interest in the use of neural networks in civil engineering to model complicated nonlinearity problems. A recent enhancement to the conventional back-propagation neural network algorithm is the adoption of a Bayesian inference procedure that provides good generalization and a statistical approach to deal with data uncertainty. A review of the Bayesian approach for neural netw...
متن کاملA Concept of Approximated Densities for Efficient Nonlinear Estimation
This paper presents the theoretical development of a nonlinear adaptive filter based on a concept of filtering by approximated densities (FAD). Themost common procedures for nonlinear estimation apply the extended Kalman filter. As opposed to conventional techniques, the proposed recursive algorithm does not require any linearisation. The prediction uses a maximum entropy principle subject to c...
