Bootstrap resampling as a tool for radio - interferometric imaging fidelity assessment
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on a numerical evaluation of the statistical bootstrap as a technique for radio-interferometric imaging fidelity assessment. The development of a fidelity assessment technique is an important scientific prerequisite for automated pipeline reduction of data from modern radio interferometers. We evaluate the statistical performance of two bootstrap methods, the model-based bootstrap and subsample bootstrap, against a Monte Carlo parametric simulation, using interferometric polarization calibration and imaging as the representative problem under study. We find both statistical resampling techniques to be viable approaches to radio-interferometric imaging fidelity assessment which merit further investigation. We also report on the development and implementation of a new self-calibration algorithm for radio-interferometric polarimetry which makes no approximations for the polarization source model. Subject headings: techniques: image processing — methods: statistical — techniques: interferometric — techniques: polarimetric

We report on a broader evaluation of statistical bootstrap resampling methods as a tool for pixel-level calibration and imaging fidelity assessment in radio interferometry. Pixel-level imaging fidelity assessment is a challenging problem, important for the value it holds in robust scientific interpretation of interferometric images, enhancement of automated pipeline reduction systems needed to ...
متن کاملAn approximate bootstrap technique for variance estimation in parametric images
Parametric imaging procedures offer the possibility of comprehensive assessment of tissue metabolic activity. Estimating variances of these images is important for the development of inference tools in a diagnostic setting. However, these are not readily obtained because the complexity of the radio-tracer models used in the generation of a parametric image makes analytic variance expressions in...
متن کاملOnline radio interferometric imaging: assimilating and discarding visibilities on arrival
The emerging generation of radio interferometric (RI) telescopes, such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), will acquire massive volumes of data and transition radio astronomy to a big-data era. The ill-posed inverse problem of imaging the raw visibilities acquired by RI telescopes will become significantly more computationally challenging, particularly in terms of data storage and computationa...
متن کاملAssessment of Multidimensional Functional Neuroimaging Data Model by Statistical Resampling
Artificially generated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data drawn from a block-based visual stimulation paradigm were analyzed by the stochastic neuromorphic extended BS Infomax algorithm [1] implementing spatial independent component analysis (ICA) [2]. Variance estimate based on bootstrap resampling [3] was employed as model selection criterion and reliability assessment of ICA d...
متن کاملروشهای بازنمونهگیری بوت استرپ و جک نایف در تحلیل بقای بیماران مبتلا به تالاسمی ماژور
Background and Objectives: A small sample size can influence the results of statistical analysis. A reduction in the sample size may happen due to different reasons, such as loss of information, i.e. existing missing value in some variables. This study aimed to apply bootstrap and jackknife resampling methods in survival analysis of thalassemia major patients. Methods: In this historical coh...
