Quantile maximum likelihood estimation of response time distributions.
We introduce and evaluate via a Monte Carlo study a robust new estimation technique that fits distribution functions to grouped response time (RT) data, where the grouping is determined by sample quantiles. The new estimator, quantile maximum likelihood (QML), is more efficient and less biased than the best alternative estimation technique when fitting the commonly used ex-Gaussian distribution...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Feature-Based Distributions
Motivated by recent work in phonotactic learning (Hayes and Wilson 2008, Albright 2009), this paper shows how to define feature-based probability distributions whose parameters can be provably efficiently estimated. The main idea is that these distributions are defined as a product of simpler distributions (cf. Ghahramani and Jordan 1997). One advantage of this framework is it draws attention t...
متن کاملWindowing Effects of Short Time Fourier Transform on Wideband Array Signal Processing Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation
During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...

متن کاملEfficient maximum likelihood estimation of copula based meta t-distributions
Recently an efficient fixed point algorithm for finding maximum likelihood estimates has found its application in models based on Gaussian copulas. It requires a decomposition of a likelihood function into two parts and their iterative maximization. Therefore, this algorithm is called maximization by parts (MBP). For copula-based models, the algorithm MBP improves the efficiency of a two-step e...
