چکیده
Given two probability measures, P and Q defined on a measurable space, S, the integral probability metric (IPM) is defined as γF(P,Q) = sup {∣∣∣∣ ∫

On Integral Probability Metrics, φ-Divergences and Binary Classification
φ-divergences are a widely studied class of distance measures between probabilities. In this paper, a different class of distance measures on probabilities, called the integral probability metrics (IPMs) is considered. IPMs, for example, the Wasserstein distance and Dudley metric have, thus far, only been used in a limited setting, as theoretical tools in mass transportation problems, in metriz...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملHUMAN METRICS AFFECTING SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF INDIAN MANUFACTURING ORGANIZATIONS
The manufacturing organizations today are having a competition of supply chain versus supply chain. Existing research work fails to relate human metrics with supply chain performance. The authors intend to empirically assess the effects of human metrics on supply chain performance in the context of Indian manufacturing organizations. A rigorous literature review has identified 12 variables. The...
متن کاملUnscented Auxiliary Particle Filter Implementation of the Cardinalized Probability Hypothesis Density Filters
The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter suffers from lack of precise estimation of the expected number of targets. The Cardinalized PHD (CPHD) recursion, as a generalization of the PHD recursion, remedies this flaw and simultaneously propagates the intensity function and the posterior cardinality distribution. While there are a few new approaches to enhance the Sequential Monte Carlo (S...
متن کاملCapacity Drop Estimation Based on Stochastic Approach Applied to Tehran-Karaj Freeway
Existence of capacity drop phenomenon, as the difference between pre-queue and queue discharge flow rates, has been one of the controversial concepts of traffic engineering. Several researches have focused on capacity drop existence and also its estimation issues. This paper aims to estimate capacity drop based not only on a comparison between breakdown and queue discharge flow rates, but also ...
