Multidimensional Adaptive Testing with a Minimum Error - Variance Criterion
The case of adaptive testing under a multidimensional logistic response model is addressed. An adaptive algorithm is proposed that minimizes the (asymptotic) variance of the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator of a linear combination of abilities of interest. The item selection criterion is a simple expression in closed form. In addition, it is shown how the algorithm can be adapted if the intere...
متن کاملAdaptive Linear Filtering Design with Minimum Symbol Error Probability Criterion
Adaptive digital filtering has traditionally been developed based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion and has found ever-increasing applications in communications. This paper presents an alternative adaptive filtering design based on the minimum symbol error rate (MSER) criterion for communication applications. It is shown that the MSER filtering is smarter, as it exploits the non...
متن کاملAdaptive FIR Filtering under Minimum Error/Input Information Criterion
Abstract: In this paper, we use the mutual information between error/input as the cost function for adaptive filtering. For the finite-impulse response (FIR) filter, the connections between the minimum error/input information (MEII) criterion and traditional mean-square error (MSE) criterion are investigated. We show that, for Gaussian case, the MEII criterion is equivalent to the well-known or...
متن کاملQuantized Minimum Error Entropy Criterion
Comparing with traditional learning criteria, such as mean square error (MSE), the minimum error entropy (MEE) criterion is superior in nonlinear and non-Gaussian signal processing and machine learning. The argument of the logarithm in Renyis entropy estimator, called information potential (IP), is a popular MEE cost in information theoretic learning (ITL). The computational complexity of IP is...
متن کاملThe Ratio-type Estimators of Variance with Minimum Average Square Error
The ratio-type estimators have been introduced for estimating the mean and total population, but in recent years based on the ratio methods several estimators for population variance have been proposed. In this paper two families of estimators have been suggested and their approximation mean square error (MSE) have been developed. In addition, the efficiency of these variance estimators are com...
