Introduction to Minimum Encoding Inference
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the minimumencoding approaches to inference, Minimum Message Length (MML) and Minimum Description Length (MDL). This paper was written with the objective of providing an introduction to this area for statisticians. We describe coding techniques for data, and examine how these techniques can be applied to perform inference and model selection.

Minimum Encoding Approaches for Predictive
We analyze diierences between two information-theoretically motivated approaches to statistical inference and model selection: the Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle, and the Minimum Message Length (MML) principle. Based on this analysis, we present two revised versions of MML: a pointwise estimator which gives the MML-optimal single parameter model, and a volumewise estimator which giv...
متن کاملInspection of temperature alteration and it’s prediction possibility in Ardebil province using statistical analysis and adaptive neuro -fuzzy inference system
Temperature alteration plays special role as one of the most basic climate elements. So inspection of temperature alteration and anticipation has scientific- applied magnitude. In this study inspection of several cases of statistical characteristics of monthly average, maximum and minimum temperature and illumination of their alteration method, temperatures predictability by ANFIS is evalua...
متن کاملBook review of “ Observation and Experiment : An Introduction to Causal Inference ” by Paul R . Rosenbaum
The economist Paul Samuelson said, “My belief is that nothing that can be expressed by mathematics cannot be expressed by careful use of literary words.” Paul Rosenbaum brings this perspective to causal inference in his new book Observation and Experiment: An Introduction to Causal Inference (Harvard University Press, 2017). The book is a luminous presentation of concepts and strategies for cau...
متن کاملAdaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and neural network in predicting the size of monodisperse silica and process optimization via simulated annealing algorithm
In this study, Back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) methods were applied to estimate the particle size of silica prepared by sol-gel technique. Simulated annealing algorithm (SAA) employed to determine the optimum practical parameters of the silica production. Accordingly, the process parameters, i.e. tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), H2O and N...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
