The direct L geometric structure on a manifold of probability densities with applications to Filtering
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a projection method for the space of probability distributions based on the differential geometric approach to statistics. This method is based on a direct L2 metric as opposed to the usual Hellinger distance and the related Fisher Information metric. We explain how this apparatus can be used for the nonlinear filtering problem, in relationship also to earlier projection methods based on the Fisher metric. Past projection filters focused on the Fisher metric and the exponential families that made the filter correction step exact. In this work we introduce the mixture projection filter, namely the projection filter based on the direct L2 metric and based on a manifold given by a mixture of pre-assigned densities. The resulting prediction step in the filtering problem is described by a linear differential equation, while the correction step can be made exact. We analyze the relationship of a specific class of L2 filters with the Galerkin based nonlinear filters, and highlight the differences with our approach, concerning particularly the continuous–time observations filtering problems.

Image alignment via kernelized feature learning
Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that is able to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. The primary assumption for most of the machine learning algorithms is that the training set (source domain) and the test set (target domain) follow from the same probability distribution. However, in most of the real-world application...
متن کاملClassification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions
Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...

A filtering power divider/power combiner based on half mode substrate integrated waveguide technology for high power applications is proposed. This design includes one half mode substrate integrated waveguide cavity, one matched load, and four sections of quarter-wavelength transmission lines. The high isolation between output ports is obtained by combining the half mode substrate integrated wa...

In this paper we try to formulate the Berezin quantization on projective Hilbert space P(H) and use its geometric structure to construct a correspondence between a given classical theory and a given quantum theory. It wil be shown that the star product in berezin quantization is equivalent to the Posson bracket on coherent states manifold M, embodded in P(H), and the Berezin method is used to...
متن کاملOn a class of paracontact Riemannian manifold
We classify the paracontact Riemannian manifolds that their Riemannian curvature satisfies in the certain condition and we show that this classification is hold for the special cases semi-symmetric and locally symmetric spaces. Finally we study paracontact Riemannian manifolds satisfying R(X, ξ).S = 0, where S is the Ricci tensor.
