Maximum Likelihood Estimation of K-distribution Parameters Using Number Theoretic Methods

چکیده
Abstract—The K-distribution is widely applied in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image processing. However, the multi-peak complicated likelihood function causes much trouble to obtain the maximum likelihood estimation of K-distribution parameters. Based on the number-theoretic net (NT-net), the computable steps of sequential number-theoretic method for optimization (SNTO) were proposed to get the MLE of the parameters of K-distribution. Comparing with the non-ML estimator Y0.1, we do Monte Carlo trails with different values of shape parameter and different sample sizes. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the fractional moment based technique.

One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...

The heavy tailed distributions have mostly been used for modeling the financial data. The kappa distribution has higher peak and heavier tail than the normal distribution. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the three unknown parameters of a Kappa distribution for evaluating the value at risk measure. The value at risk (VaR) as a quantile of a distribution is one of the import...
