Estimating linear functionals in Poisson mixture models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns the problem of estimating linear functionals of the mixing distribution from Poisson mixture observations. In particular, linear functionals for which parametric rate of convergence cannot be achieved are studied. It appears that Gaussian functionals are rather easy to estimate. Estimation of the distibution functions is then considered by approximating this functional by Gaussian functionals. Finally, the case of smooth distribution functions is considered in order to deal with rather general linear functionals.

The Negative Binomial Distribution Efficiency in Finite Mixture of Semi-parametric Generalized Linear Models
Introduction Selection the appropriate statistical model for the response variable is one of the most important problem in the finite mixture of generalized linear models. One of the distributions which it has a problem in a finite mixture of semi-parametric generalized statistical models, is the Poisson distribution. In this paper, to overcome over dispersion and computational burden, finite ...
متن کاملDistributions of Linear Functionals of Two Parameter Poisson – Dirichlet Random Measures
The present paper provides exact expressions for the probability distributions of linear functionals of the two-parameter Poisson– Dirichlet process PD(α, θ). We obtain distributional results yielding exact forms for density functions of these functionals. Moreover, several interesting integral identities are obtained by exploiting a correspondence between the mean of a Poisson–Dirichlet proces...
متن کاملModels as Approximations — Part II: A General Theory of Model-Robust Regression
We discuss a model-robust theory for general types of regression in the simplest case of iid observations. The theory replaces the parameters of parametric models with statistical functionals, to be called “regression functionals” and defined on large non-parametric classes of joint x-y distributions without assuming a working model. Examples of regression functionals are the slopes of OLS line...
متن کاملPoisson multi-Bernoulli mixture filter: direct derivation and implementation
We provide a derivation of the Poisson multiBernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter for multi-target tracking with the standard point target measurements without using probability generating functionals or functional derivatives. We also establish the connection with the δ-generalised labelled multiBernoulli (δ-GLMB) filter, showing that a δ-GLMB density represents a multi-Bernoulli mixture with labell...
متن کاملMixture Models of Choice Under Risk By Anna Conte, John D Hey and Peter G Moffatt Mixture Models of Choice under Risk
This paper is concerned with estimating preference functionals for choice under risk from the choice behaviour of individuals. We note that there is heterogeneity in behaviour between individuals and within individuals. By ‘heterogeneity between individuals’ we mean that people are different, in terms of both their preference functionals and their parameters for these functionals. By ‘heterogen...
