Probability Estimator from a Database Using a Gibbs Energy Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an algorithm for creating a neural network which produces accurate probability estimates as outputs. The network implements a Gibbs probability distribution model of the training database. This model is created by a new transformation relating the joint probabilities of attributes in the database to the weights (Gibbs potentials) of the distributed network model. The theory of this transformation is presented together with experimental results. One advantage of this approach is the network weights are prescribed without iterative gradient descent. Used as a classifier the network tied or outperformed published results on a variety of databases.

Bayesian Penalized Spline Model-Based Estimation of the Finite Population Proportion From Probability-Proportional-to-Size Samples
This paper develops Bayesian penalized spline predictive (BPSP) estimator of finite population proportion for probability-proportional-to-size samples. This new method allows the probabilities of inclusion to be directly incorporated into the estimation of population proportion, using a probit regression of the binary outcome on the penalized spline of the inclusion probabilities. The posterior...
متن کاملMulti-Component-Multiphase Flash Calculations for Systems Containing Gas Hydrates by Direct Minimization of Gibbs Free Energy
The Michelsen stability and multiphase flash calculation by direct minimization of Gibbs free energy of the system at constant temperature and pressure, was used for systems containing gas hydrates. The solid hydrate phase was treated as a solid solution. The fugacities of all components of the hydrate phase were calculated as a function of compositions by the rearranged model of van der Wa...
متن کاملDetermination of the Equilibrium Parameters of Gaseous Detonations Using a Genetic Algorithm
The present work is concerned with the development of a new algorithm for determination of the equilibrium composition of gaseous detonations. The elements balance equations, and the second law of thermodynamics (i.e., the minimization of the Gibbs free energy of products), are used to determine the equilibrium composition of the detonation products. To minimize the Gibbs free energy with tradi...
متن کاملStatistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation
Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...
متن کاملMCMC Generated Bayesian Credible Intervals in Hierarchical Models
Under a Bayesian approach to a hierarchical model interest often lies in summarizing the posterior distribution of a parameter in order to enable easy comparison across prior structures This can be done for example through quantile or interval estimation When using an MCMC algorithm such as the Gibbs sampler to generate a sample from the posterior of interest calcu lations are often easier when...
