Restructuring exponential family mixture models
Variational KL (varKL) divergence minimization was previously applied to restructuring acoustic models (AMs) using Gaussian mixture models by reducing their size while preserving their accuracy. In this paper, we derive a related varKL for exponential family mixture models (EMMs) and test its accuracy using the weighted local maximum likelihood agglomerative clustering technique. Minimizing var...
متن کاملMixing Least - Squares Estimators
We propose a procedure to handle the problem of Gaussian regression when the variance is unknown. We mix least-squares estimators from various models according to a procedure inspired by that of Leung and Barron [17]. We show that in some cases the resulting estimator is a simple shrinkage estimator. We then apply this procedure in various statistical settings such as linear regression or adapt...
متن کاملDiscontinuous parameter estimates with least squares estimators
We discuss weighted least squares estimates of ill-conditioned linear inverse problems where weights are chosen to be inverse error covariance matrices. Least squares estimators are the maximum likelihood estimate for normally distributed data and parameters, but here we do not assume particular probability distributions. Weights for the estimator are found by ensuring its minimum follows a χ d...
متن کاملAsymptotic Least Squares Estimators for Dynamic Games1
This paper considers the estimation problem in dynamic games with finite actions. We derive the equation system that characterizes the Markovian equilibria. The equilibrium equation system enables us to characterize conditions for identification. We consider a class of asymptotic least squares estimators defined by the equilibrium conditions. This class provides a unified framework for a number...
متن کاملH∞ bounds for least-squares estimators
In this paper we obtain upper and lower bounds for the H 1 norm of the Kalman lter and RLS algorithm, with respect to prediction and ltered errors. These bounds can be used to study the robustness properties of such estimators. One main conclusion is that, unlike H 1-optimal estimators which do not allow for any ampliication of the disturbances, the least-squares estimators do allow for such am...
