Some techniques in density estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Density estimation is an interdisciplinary topic at the intersection of statistics, theoretical computer science and machine learning. We review some old and new techniques for bounding sample complexity of estimating densities of continuous distributions, focusing on the class of mixtures of Gaussians and its subclasses.

On Efficiency Criteria in Density Estimation
We discuss the classical efficiency criteria in density estimation and propose some variants. The context is a general density estimation scheme that contains the cases of i.i.d. or dependent random variables, in discrete or continuous time. Unbiased estimation, optimality and asymptotic optimality are considered. An example of a density estimator that satisfies some suggested criteria is given...
متن کاملSpectral Estimation of Stationary Time Series: Recent Developments
Spectral analysis considers the problem of determining (the art of recovering) the spectral content (i.e., the distribution of power over frequency) of a stationary time series from a finite set of measurements, by means of either nonparametric or parametric techniques. This paper introduces the spectral analysis problem, motivates the definition of power spectral density functions, and reviews...
متن کاملOn Some Properties and Estimation of a Skew Symmetric Density Function
In this paper we consider a general setting of skew-symmetric distribution which was constructed by Azzalini (1985), and its properties are presented. A suitable empirical estimator for a skew-symmetric distribution is proposed. In data analysis, by comparing this empirical model with the estimated skew-normal distribution, we show that the proposed empirical model has a better fit in den...
متن کاملScaling and Fractal Concepts in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity: Comparison of Some Models
Measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. This study compares eight models for scaling Ks and predicted matrix and macro pore Ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...
متن کاملRobust Estimation in Linear Regression Model: the Density Power Divergence Approach
The minimum density power divergence method provides a robust estimate in the face of a situation where the dataset includes a number of outlier data. In this study, we introduce and use a robust minimum density power divergence estimator to estimate the parameters of the linear regression model and then with some numerical examples of linear regression model, we show the robustness of this est...
متن کاملتخمین احتمال بزرگی زمین‌لغزش‌های رخ‌داده در حوزه آبخیز پیوه‌ژن (استان خراسان رضوی)
Knowing the number, area, and frequency of landslides occurred in each area has a prominent role in the long-term evolution of area dominated by landslides and can be used for analyzing of susceptibility, hazard, and risk. In this regard, the current research is trying to consider identified landslides size probability in the Pivejan Watershed, Razavi Khorasan Province. In the first step, lands...
