Statistical Analysis of Distance Estimators with Density Differences and Density Ratios
Estimating a discrepancy between two probability distributions from samples is an important task in statistics and machine learning. There are mainly two classes of discrepancy measures: distance measures based on the density difference, such as the Lp-distances, and divergence measures based on the density ratio, such as the φ-divergences. The intersection of these two classes is the L1-distan...
متن کاملIndependent Component Analysis with Quantizing Density Estimators
We propose an approach to source adaptivity in ICA based on quantizing density estimators (QDE). These estimators allow to realize source adaptivity in an efficient and nonparametric way and we show how their application can be viewed as a natural extension to recent approaches based on parametric models. In simulations we show that ICA based on QDE can considerably increase the performance of ...
متن کاملDensity Estimators for Truncated Dependent Data
In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...
متن کاملStatistical Properties of Parasite Density Estimators in Malaria
Malaria is a global health problem responsible for nearly one million deaths every year around 85% of which concern children younger than five years old in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, around 300 million clinical cases are declared every year. The level of infection, expressed as parasite density, is classically defined as the number of asexual parasites relative to a microliter of blood. M...
