The Estimation of Laplace Random Vectors in AWGN and the Generalized Incomplete Gamma Function
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper develops and compares the MAP and MMSE estimators for spherically-contoured multivariate Laplace random vectors in additive white Gaussian noise. The MMSE estimator is expressed in closed-form using the generalized incomplete gamma function. We also find a computationally efficient yet accurate approximation for the MMSE estimator. In addition, this paper develops an expression for the mean square error MSE for any estimator of spherically-contoured multivariate Laplace random vectors in AWGN, the development of which again depends on the generalized incomplete gamma function. The estimators are motivated and tested on the problem of wavelet-based image denoising. ∗This work was supported by ONR under grant N00014-03-1-0217.

Parameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملAdmissible Estimators of ?r in the Gamma Distribution with Truncated Parameter Space
In this paper, we consider admissible estimation of the parameter ?r in the gamma distribution with truncated parameter space under entropy loss function. We obtain the classes of admissible estimators. The result can be applied to estimation of parameters in the normal, lognormal, pareto, generalized gamma, generalized Laplace and other distributions.
متن کاملEstimation of Genetic Parameters for Lactation Curve Traits in Holstein Dairy Cows in Iran
The objectives were to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for lactation curve traits in Holstein dairy cows in Iran. The used data were records on Holstein cows collected during January 2003 to December 2012 by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran (Karaj, Iran). In order to describe the lactation curve, an incomplete gamma function was fitted to 691200 test-day records on 962...
متن کاملAutoconvolution equations and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions
This article is devoted to study of the autoconvolution equations and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. These types of equations are given in terms of the Laplace transform convolution of a function with itself. We state new classes of the autoconvolution equations of the first kind and show that the generalized Mittag-Leffler functions are solutions of these types of equations. In view of ...
متن کاملAsymmetric Univariate and Bivariate Laplace and Generalized Laplace Distributions
Alternative specifications of univariate asymmetric Laplace models are described and investigated. A more general mixture model is then introduced. Bivariate extensions of these models are discussed in some detail, with particular emphasis on associated parameter estimation strategies. Multivariate versions of the models are briefly introduced.
