The Hilbert Space Theoretical Foundation of Semi-Nonparametric Modeling∗

چکیده

Semi-nonparametric (SNP) models are models where only a part of the model is parametrized, and the non-specified part is an unknown function which is represented by an infinite series expansion. Therefore, SNP models are in essence models with infinitely many parameters. The theoretical foundation of series expansions of functions is Hilbert space theory, in particular the properties of Hilbert spaces of square integrable real functions. In Hilbert spaces of functions there exist sequences of orthonormal functions such that any function in this space can be represented by a linear combination of these orthonormal functions. Such orthonormal sequences are called complete. The main purpose of this chapter is to show how these orthonormal functions can be constructed and how to construct general series representations of density and distribution functions. Moreover, in order to explain why this can be done the necessary Hilbert space theory involved will be reviewed as well.

Solving multi-order fractional differential equations by reproducing kernel Hilbert space method

In this paper we propose a relatively new semi-analytical technique to approximate the solution of nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs). We present some results concerning to the uniqueness of solution of nonlinear multi-order FDEs and discuss the existence of solution for nonlinear multi-order FDEs in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). We further give an error a...

Solving Fuzzy Impulsive Fractional Differential Equations by Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space Method

The aim of this paper is to use the Reproducing kernel Hilbert Space Method (RKHSM) to solve the linear and nonlinear fuzzy impulsive fractional differential equations. Finding the numerical solutionsof this class of equations are a difficult topic to analyze. In this study, convergence analysis, estimations error and bounds errors are discussed in detail under some hypotheses which provi...

Comparing Structure Learning Methods for RKHS Embeddings of Protein Structures

Non-parametric graphical models, embedded in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, provide a framework to model multi-modal and arbitrary multi-variate distributions, which are essential when modeling complex protein structures. Non-parametric belief propagation requires the structure of the graphical model to be known a priori. Currently there are nonparametric structure learning algorithms avail...

Smoothing Spline Semi-parametric Nonlinear Regression Models

We consider the problem of modeling the mean function in regression. Often there is enough knowledge to model some components of the mean function parametrically. But for other vague and/or nuisance components, it is often desirable to leave them unspecified and to be modeled nonparametrically. In this article, we propose a general class of smoothing spline semi-parametric nonlinear regression ...

$C^{*}$-semi-inner product spaces

In this paper, we introduce a generalization of Hilbert $C^*$-modules which are pre-Finsler modules, namely, $C^{*}$-semi-inner product spaces. Some properties and results of such spaces are investigated, specially the orthogonality in these spaces will be considered. We then study bounded linear operators on $C^{*}$-semi-inner product spaces.
