Histogram density estimators based upon a fuzzy partition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a density estimator based upon a histogram computed on a fuzzy partition. We prove the consistency of this estimator in the Mean Squared Error (MSE). We give the optimal bin width of the estimator which minimizes the Asymptotic Integrated Mean Squared Error (AIMSE). c © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Interval-valued probability density estimation based on quasi-continuous histograms: Proof of the conjecture
The sensitivity of histogram computation to the choice of a reference interval and number of bins can be attenuated by replacing the crisp partition on which the histogram is built by a fuzzy partition. This involves replacing the crisp counting process by a distributed (weighted) voting process. The counterpart to this low sensitivity is some confusion in the count values: a value of 10 in the...
متن کاملMULTIVARIATE DENSITY ESTIMATION BASED ON ADAPTIVE PARTITIONING: CONVERGENCE RATE, VARIABLE SELECTION AND SPATIAL ADAPTATION By
Density estimation is one of the most fundamental problems in statistical inference. Here, we introduce a non-parametric approach to multivariate density estimation. The estimators are piecewise constant density functions supported by binary partitions. The partition of the sample space is learned by maximizing the likelihood of the corresponding histogram on that partition. We analyze the conv...
متن کاملThresholding using two-dimensional histogram and fuzzy entropy principle
This paper presents a thresholding approach by performing fuzzy partition on a two-dimensional (2-D) histogram based on fuzzy relation and maximum fuzzy entropy principle. The experiments with various gray level and color images have demonstrated that the proposed approach outperforms the 2-D nonfuzzy approach and the one dimensional (1-D) fuzzy partition approach.
متن کاملHow Many Bins Should Be Put in a Regular Histogram
Given an n-sample from some unknown density f on [0, 1], it is easy to construct an histogram of the data based on some given partition of [0, 1], but not so much is known about an optimal choice of the partition, especially when the set of data is not large, even if one restricts to partitions into intervals of equal length. Existing methods are either rules of thumbs or based on asymptotic co...
متن کاملQuasi-continuous histograms
Histograms are very useful for summarizing statistical information associated with a set of observed data. They are one of the most frequently used density estimators due to their ease of implementation and interpretation. However, histograms suffer from a high sensitivity to the choice of both reference interval and bin width. This paper addresses this difficulty by means of a fuzzy partition....
