Conditional Gaussian mixture models for environmental risk mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes the use of Gaussian Mixture Models to estimate conditional probability density functions in an environmental risk mapping context. A conditional Gaussian Mixture Model has been compared to the geostatistical method of Sequential Gaussian Simulations and shows good performances in reconstructing local PDF. The data sets used for this comparison are parts of the digital elevation model of Switzerland.

Measuring DAX Market Risk: A Neural Network Volatility Mixture Approach
In this paper we propose a framework for estimation and quality control of conditional neural network volatility models for market risk management. In a first step, we derive a conditional volatility model based on gaussian mixture densities, that can be used with linear or neural regression models (extendable even to rule systems or decision trees). In a second step, we introduce performance m...
متن کاملConditional Dependence in Longitudinal Data Analysis
Mixed models are widely used to analyze longitudinal data. In their conventional formulation as linear mixed models (LMMs) and generalized LMMs (GLMMs), a commonly indispensable assumption in settings involving longitudinal non-Gaussian data is that the longitudinal observations from subjects are conditionally independent, given subject-specific random effects. Although conventional Gaussian...
متن کاملOn a Mixture Autoregressive Model
The assumption of Gaussian innovation terms in linear time series analysis is quite restrictive. Under this assumption, both the marginal and conditional distributions of the time series are Gaussian. However, in real life many time series display features which seem to violate the Gaussian assumption. For example, Chan and Tong (1998) show that the Canadian lynx data have a bimodal marginal di...
متن کاملImage Segmentation using Gaussian Mixture Model
Abstract: Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we used Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model were estimated by EM-algorithm. In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image was made by Bayes rule. In fact,...
متن کاملMixture Gaussian Process Conditional Heteroscedasticity
Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models have long been considered as one of the most successful families of approaches for volatility modeling in financial return series. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach based on methodologies widely used in the field of statistical machine learning. Specifically, we propose a novel nonparametric Bayesian mixtur...
