Parameter estimation, nonlinearity, and Occam's razor.
Nonlinear systems are capable of displaying complex behavior even if this is the result of a small number of interacting time scales. A widely studied case is when complex dynamics emerges out of a nonlinear system being forced by a simple harmonic function. In order to identify if a recorded time series is the result of a nonlinear system responding to a simpler forcing, we develop a discrete ...
متن کاملNonlinearity, Scale, and Sensitivity for Parameter Estimation Problems
Uncertainty assessment for parameter estimation problems is considered. It is customary to use confidence regions or intervals to give the precision of the parameter estimates. The method most used, because of modest computational requirements, is linearized covariance analysis. Monte Carlo analysis can be used to check the validity of the linearization for a particular model, but is clearly no...
متن کاملPerceptual estimation obeys Occam's razor
Theoretical models of unsupervised category learning postulate that humans "invent" categories to accommodate new patterns, but tend to group stimuli into a small number of categories. This "Occam's razor" principle is motivated by normative rules of statistical inference. If categories influence perception, then one should find effects of category invention on simple perceptual estimation. In ...
متن کاملCREDIBILISTIC PARAMETER ESTIMATION AND ITS APPLICATION IN FUZZY PORTFOLIO SELECTION
In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimation and a minimum entropy estimation for the expected value and variance of normal fuzzy variable are discussed within the framework of credibility theory. As an application, a credibilistic portfolio selection model is proposed, which is an improvement over the traditional models as it only needs the predicted values on the security returns instead of...
متن کاملStatic and Dynamic ADC Integral Nonlinearity Estimation
Integral nonlinearity (INL) should be main source of ADC's harmonic distortion. The basic question is importance of dynamic INL. There are still open questions how to describe dynamic INL and if the dynamic corrections of ADC have sense. Key-Words: ADC, testing, static, dynamic, INL, hysteresis
