Using Kernel Density Estimator in Nonlinear Mixture
نویسنده
چکیده
Generally, blind separation of sources from their nonlinear mixtures is rather difficult. This nonlinear mapping, constituted by unsupervised linear mixing followed by unknown and invertible nonlinear distortion, is found in many signal processing cases. We propose using a kernel density estimator incorporated within an equivariant gradient algorithm to separate the nonlinear mixed sources. The proposed algorithm is a generalization of natural gradient algorithm and Gram-Charlier series, which is able to adapt to the actual statistical distributions of the sources by estimating the kernel density distribution at the output signals. Experiments are presented to illustrate the performance of our proposed nonlinear blind source separation method.

The Relative Improvement of Bias Reduction in Density Estimator Using Geometric Extrapolated Kernel
One of a nonparametric procedures used to estimate densities is kernel method. In this paper, in order to reduce bias of kernel density estimation, methods such as usual kernel(UK), geometric extrapolation usual kernel(GEUK), a bias reduction kernel(BRK) and a geometric extrapolation bias reduction kernel(GEBRK) are introduced. Theoretical properties, including the selection of smoothness para...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behaviors of Nearest Neighbor Kernel Density Estimator in Left-truncated Data
Kernel density estimators are the basic tools for density estimation in non-parametric statistics. The k-nearest neighbor kernel estimators represent a special form of kernel density estimators, in which the bandwidth is varied depending on the location of the sample points. In this paper, we initially introduce the k-nearest neighbor kernel density estimator in the random left-truncatio...

Length-biased data are widely seen in applications. They are mostly applicable in epidemiological studies or survival analysis in medical researches. Here we aim to propose a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel density estimator of this kind of data.The rate of normal convergence in the proposed Berry-Esseen type theorem is shown to be O(n^(-1/6) ) modulo logarithmic term as n tends to infin...
متن کاملOn the equivalence between kernel self-organising maps and self-organising mixture density networks
The kernel method has become a useful trick and has been widely applied to various learning models to extend their nonlinear approximation and classification capabilities. Such extensions have also recently occurred to the Self-Organising Map (SOM). In this paper, two recently proposed kernel SOMs are reviewed, together with their link to an energy function. The Self-Organising Mixture Network ...
متن کاملComparison of the Gamma kernel and the orthogonal series methods of density estimation
The standard kernel density estimator suffers from a boundary bias issue for probability density function of distributions on the positive real line. The Gamma kernel estimators and orthogonal series estimators are two alternatives which are free of boundary bias. In this paper, a simulation study is conducted to compare small-sample performance of the Gamma kernel estimators and the orthog...
