The Uniqueness of Extremum Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
Let W denote a family of probability distributions with parameter space Γ, and WG be a subfamily of W depending on a mapping G : Θ→ Γ. Extremum estimations of the parameter vector θ ∈ Θ are considered. Some sufficient conditions are presented to ensure the uniqueness with probability one. As important applications, the maximum likelihood estimation in curved exponential families and nonlinear regression models with independent disturbances as well as the maximum likelihood estimation of the location and scale parameters of Gumbel distributions are treated.

Learning Visual Landmarks for Pose Estimation
We present an approach to vision-based mobile robot localization, even without an a-priori pose estimate. This is accomplished by learning a set of visual features called image-domain landmarks. The landmark learning mechanism is designed to be applicable to a wide range of environments. Each landmark is detected as a local extremum of a measure of uniqueness and represented by an appearance-ba...
متن کاملFUZZY INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS: DISCRETE SOLUTION AND ERROR ESTIMATION
This paper investigates existence and uniqueness results for the first order fuzzy integro-differential equations. Then numerical results and error bound based on the left rectangular quadrature rule, trapezoidal rule and a hybrid of them are obtained. Finally an example is given to illustrate the performance of the methods.
متن کاملInvariant Manifold Approach for Time-Varying Extremum-Seeking Control Problem
In this paper, the minimization of an unknown but measurable cost function using extremum-seeking control is considered. The main contribution of the paper is to formulate the extremum-seeking problem as a time-varying estimation problem. The concepts of invariant manifold and adaptive parameter update law are used for adaptive estimation of the timevarying gradient of the unknown cost function...
متن کاملA note on polyomino chains with extremum general sum-connectivity index
The general sum-connectivity index of a graph $G$ is defined as $chi_{alpha}(G)= sum_{uvin E(G)} (d_u + d_{v})^{alpha}$ where $d_{u}$ is degree of the vertex $uin V(G)$, $alpha$ is a real number different from $0$ and $uv$ is the edge connecting the vertices $u,v$. In this note, the problem of characterizing the graphs having extremum $chi_{alpha}$ values from a certain collection of polyomino ...
متن کاملA Bayesian Interpretation of Extremum Estimators
Extremum estimation is typically an ad hoc semi-parametric estimation procedure which is only justiied on the basis of the asymptotic properties of the estimators. For a xed nite data set, consider a large number of investigations using diierent extremum estima-tors to estimate the same parameter vector. The resulting empirical distribution of point estimates can be shown to coincide with a Bay...
