Global Properties of Kernel Estimators for Mixing Densities in Discrete Exponential Family Models
This paper concerns the global performance of modifications of the kernel estimators considered in Zhang (1995) for a mixing density function g based on a sample from f(x) = ∫ f(x|θ)g(θ)dθ under weighted L-loss, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, where f(x|θ) is a known exponential family of density functions with respect to the counting measure on the set of nonnegative integers. Fourier methods are used to derive up...
متن کاملEstimating Densities with Non-Parametric Exponential Families
We propose a novel approach for density estimation with exponential families for the case when the true density may not fall within the chosen family. Our approach augments the sufficient statistics with features designed to accumulate probability mass in the neighborhood of the observed points, resulting in a non-parametric model similar to kernel density estimators. We show that under mild co...
متن کاملModels for estimating phytoplankton population densities under different environmental conditions with emphasis on climatic factors
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of environmental conditions with emphasis on the main meteorological factors (air temperature variables, sunshine hour, and humidity), on phytoplankton communities. As important primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, phytoplankton communities could be affected by several factors. Environmental factors play the major role in occurrence and diver...
متن کاملA Sufficient Statistics Construction of Exponential Family Levy Measure Densities for Nonparametric Conjugate Models
Conjugate pairs of distributions over infinite dimensional spaces are prominent in machine learning, particularly due to the widespread adoption of Bayesian nonparametric methodologies for a host of models and applications. Much of the existing literature in the learning community focuses on processes possessing some form of computationally tractable conjugacy as is the case for the beta proces...
متن کاملRestructuring 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...
