Computational Information Geometry in Statistics: Mixture Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper applies the tools of computation information geometry [3] – in particular, high dimensional extended multinomial families as proxies for the ‘space of all distributions’ – in the inferentially demanding area of statistical mixture modelling. A range of resultant benefits are noted.

متن کاملSegmenting magnetic resonance images via hierarchical mixture modelling
We present a statistically innovative as well as scientifically and practically relevant method for automatically segmenting magnetic resonance images using hierarchical mixture models. Our method is a general tool for automated cortical analysis which promises to contribute substantially to the science of neuropsychiatry. We demonstrate that our method has advantages over competing approaches ...
متن کاملImputation through finite Gaussian mixture models
Imputation is a widely used method for handling missing data. It consists in the replacement of missing values with plausible ones. Parametric and nonparametric techniques are generally adopted for modelling incomplete data. Both of them have advantages and drawbacks. Parametric techniques are parsimonious but depend on the model assumed, while nonparametric techniques are more flexible but req...

In this study, we theoretically investigated Methyl hydrazinecarbodithioate by quantum chemical calculations for geometry optimization, vibration frequencies, and electronic structure parameters. The geometry optimization by DFT, ab initio MP2 method and the frequency calculation by DFT method was performed at the highest available Pople style 6-311G++(3df,3pd) basis set level. The semi-emp...
