چکیده

The fractal dimension estimate for two-variable fractional Brownian motion using the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) is developed. We formulate a model to describe the two-variable fractional Brownian motion, then derive the likelihood function for that model and estimate the fractal dimension by maximizing the likelihood function. We then compare the MLE with the box-dimension estimation method.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model

Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...

Fractal estimation using models on multiscale trees

In this paper we estimate the fractal dimension of stochastic processes with 1/f-like spectra by applying a recently-introduced multiresolution framework. This framework admits an efficient likelihood function evaluation, allowing us to compute the maximum likelihood estimate of this fractal parameter with relative ease. In addition to yielding results that compare well to other proposed method...

Estimating the Time of a Step Change in Gamma Regression Profiles Using MLE Approach

Sometimes the quality of a process or product is described by a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables referred to as profile. In most researches in this area the response variable is assumed to be normally distributed; however, occasionally in certain applications, the normality assumption is violated. In these cases the Generalized Linear Mod...

Windowing Effects of Short Time Fourier Transform on Wideband Array Signal Processing Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation

During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...
