Polynomial birth-death distribution approximation in Wasserstein distance
The polynomial birth-death (PBD) distribution on non-negative integers introduced in Brown & Xia (2001) is the equilibrium distribution of the birth-death process with birth rates {αi} and death rates {βi}, where αi ≥ 0 and βi ≥ 0 are polynomial functions of i. The family unifies many well-known distributions such as Poisson, negative binomial and binomial. In this talk, I’ll explain how a nice...
متن کاملMinimax Distribution Estimation in Wasserstein Distance
The Wasserstein metric is an important measure of distance between probability distributions, with several applications in machine learning, statistics, probability theory, and data analysis. In this paper, we upper and lower bound minimax rates for the problem of estimating a probability distribution underWasserstein loss, in terms of metric properties, such as covering and packing numbers, of...
متن کاملOn Stein’s factors for Poisson approximation in Wasserstein distance
In this note, we provide a probabilistic proof of various Stein’s factors for Poisson approximation in terms of the Wasserstein distance.
متن کاملWasserstein Distance Measure Machines
This paper presents a distance-based discriminative framework for learning with probability distributions. Instead of using kernel mean embeddings or generalized radial basis kernels, we introduce embeddings based on dissimilarity of distributions to some reference distributions denoted as templates. Our framework extends the theory of similarity of Balcan et al. (2008) to the population distri...
متن کاملParticle Approximation of the Wasserstein Diffusion
We construct a system of interacting two-sided Bessel processes on the unit interval and show that the associated empirical measure process converges to the Wasserstein Diffusion [27], assuming that Markov uniqueness holds for the generating Wasserstein Dirichlet form. The proof is based on the variational convergence of an associated sequence of Dirichlet forms in the generalized Mosco sense o...
