Geometry of the Nonlinear Regression with Prior
نویسنده
چکیده
In a nonlinear regression model with a given prior distribution, the estimator maximizing the posterior probability density is considered (a certain kind of Bayes estimator). It is shown that the prior influences essentially, but in a comprehensive way, the geometry of the model, including the intrinsic curvature measure of nonlinearity which is derived in the paper. The obtained geometrical results are used to present the modified Gauss-Newton method of computation of the estimator, and to obtain the exact and an approximate probability density of the estimator.

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of a cantilever beam with nonlinear geometry
Analyzing the nonlinear vibration of beams is one of the important issues in structural engineering. According to this, an impressive analytical method which is called Modified Iteration Perturbation Method (MIPM) is used to obtain the behavior and frequency of a cantilever beam with geometric nonlinear. This new method is combined by the Mickens and Iteration methods. Moreover, this method don...

متن کاملRecurrent metrics in the geometry of second order differential equations
Given a pair (semispray $S$, metric $g$) on a tangent bundle, the family of nonlinear connections $N$ such that $g$ is recurrent with respect to $(S, N)$ with a fixed recurrent factor is determined by using the Obata tensors. In particular, we obtain a characterization for a pair $(N, g)$ to be recurrent as well as for the triple $(S, stackrel{c}{N}, g)$ where $stackrel{c}{N}$ is the canonical ...

In many manufacturing processes, the quality of a product is characterized by a non-linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. Using nonlinear regression for monitoring nonlinear profiles have been proposed in the literature of profile monitoring which is faced with two problems 1) the distribution of regression coefficients in small samples is unkno...
متن کاملModeling of monthly flow duration curve using nonlinear regression method for un-gauged watersheds of Ardabil Province
The flow duration curve (FDC) represents the frequency distribution of water flow over a period of time, which is widely used in hydrology to evaluate different ranges of river water flow applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a suitable estimation model and method in un-gauged watersheds. To this end, in the present study, a modeling method based on nonlinear regression, for the p...
