Maximum Smoothed Likelihood Estimation
Looking myopically at the larger features of the likelihood function, absent some fine detail, can theoretically improve maximum likelihood estimation. Such estimators are, in fact, used routinely, since numerical techniques for maximizing a computationally expensive likelihood function or for maximizing a Monte Carlo approximation to a likelihood function may be unable to investigate small sca...
متن کاملJoint Angle-delay Estimation Based on Smoothed Maximum-likelihood Algorithm
In this paper, a novel maximum likelihood algorithm for joint angle and delay estimation is developed to identify the specular components of channel fading for uniform linear array based on the physical propagation channel model. Frequency domain presmoothing is applied to the structured frequency transfer matrix before the estimation procedure in order to utilize substantial observations. Iter...
متن کاملSmoothed log-concave maximum likelihood estimation with applications
We study the smoothed log-concave maximum likelihood estimator of a probability distribution on Rd. This is a fully automatic nonparametric density estimator, obtained as a canonical smoothing of the log-concave maximum likelihood estimator. We demonstrate its attractive features both through an analysis of its theoretical properties and a simulation study. Moreover, we use our methodology to d...
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...
متن کاملMaximum Smoothed Likelihood for Multivariate Mixtures
We introduce an algorithm for estimating the parameters in a finite mixture of completely unspecified multivariate components in at least three dimensions under the assumption of conditionally independent coordinate dimensions. We prove that this algorithm, based on a majorization-minimization idea, possesses a desirable descent property just as any EM algorithm does. We discuss the similaritie...
