SMML estimators for exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics
The minimum message length principle is an information theoretic criterion that links data compression with statistical inference. This paper studies the strict minimum message length (SMML) estimator for d-dimensional exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics, for all d. The partition of an SMML estimator is shown to consist of convex polytopes (i.e. convex polygons when d = 2...
متن کاملTargeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation using Exponential Families.
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is a general method for estimating parameters in semiparametric and nonparametric models. The key step in any TMLE implementation is constructing a sequence of least-favorable parametric models for the parameter of interest. This has been done for a variety of parameters arising in causal inference problems, by augmenting standard regression models ...
متن کاملOn the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for some Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution
Abstract. In this paper we consider some four-parametric, so-called Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution, which have been constructed using stochastic Birth-Death Process in order to model phenomena arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). As examples, two ”real data” sets on the number of proteins and number of residues for analyzing such distribution are given. The co...
متن کاملExponential rate of convergence of maximum likelihood estimators for inhomogeneous Wiener processes
The distribution of an inhomogeneous Wiener process is determined by the mean function m(t) ss EW(t) and the variance function b(t) = V^(W(t)) which depend on unknown parameter d _ 0 . Observations are assumed to be in discrete time points where the sample size tends to infinity. Using the general theory of Ibragimow, Hasminskij [2] sufficient conditions for consistency of MLE i?n are establish...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimates for exponential type density families
We consider a parametric family of density functions of the type exp( jxj 2 ) for modeling acoustic feature vectors used in automatic recognition of speech. The parameter is a measure of the impulsiveness as well as the nongaussian nature of the data. While previous work has focussed on estimating the mean and the variance of the data here we attempt to estimate the impulsiveness from the data ...
