Maximum likelihood kernel density estimation
Methods for improving the basic kernel density estimator include variable locations, variable bandwidths (often called variable kernels) and variable weights. Currently these methods are implemented separately and via pilot estimation of variation functions derived from asymptotic considerations. In this paper, we propose a simple maximum likelihood procedure which allows (in its greatest gener...
متن کاملThe Development of Maximum Likelihood Estimation Approaches for Adaptive Estimation of Free Speed and Critical Density in Vehicle Freeways
The performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models have been accurately calibrated. One of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is LWR or METANET model. Practically, key parameters in LWR model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive ...

متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of a multi- dimensional log-concave density
Let X1, . . . ,Xn be independent and identically distributed random vectors with a (Lebesgue) density f. We first prove that, with probability 1, there is a unique log-concave maximum likelihood estimator f̂n of f. The use of this estimator is attractive because, unlike kernel density estimation, the method is fully automatic, with no smoothing parameters to choose. Although the existence proof ...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model
Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...
