Likelihood Computations Using Value Abstraction
In this paper, we use evidence-specific value abstraction for speeding Bayesian networks inference. This is done by grouping variable values and treating the combined values as a single entity. As we show, such abstractions can exploit regularities in conditional probability distributions and also the specific values of observed variables. To formally justify value abstraction, we define the no...
متن کاملGPU accelerated acoustic likelihood computations
This paper introduces the use of Graphics Processors Unit (GPU) for computing acoustic likelihoods in a speech recognition system. In addition to their high availability, GPUs provide high computing performance at low cost. We have used a NVidia GeForce 8800GTX programmed with the CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) which shows the GPU as a parallel coprocessor. The acoustic likelihoods ...
متن کاملLikelihood computations without Bartlett identities
The signed square root statistic R is given by sgn(è̂ÿ è)(l(è̂)ÿ l(è)), where l is the log-likelihood and è̂ is the maximum likelihood estimator. The pth cumulant of R is typically of the form nÿ p=2 kp O(nÿ( p2)=2), where n is the number of observations. This paper shows how to symbolically compute kp without invoking the Bartlett identities. As an application, we show how the family of altern...

متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation and Likelihood-ratio Tests
The method of maximum likelihood (ML), introduced by Fisher (1921), is widely used in human and quantitative genetics and we draw upon this approach throughout the book, especially in Chapters 13–16 (mixture distributions) and 26–27 (variance component estimation). Weir (1996) gives a useful introduction with genetic applications, while Kendall and Stuart (1979) and Edwards (1992) provide more ...
