Maximum-Likelihood Cluster Recontruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel method to recontruct the mass distribution of galaxy clusters from their gravitational lens effect on background galaxies. The method is based on a least-χ fit of the two-dimensional gravitational cluster potential. The method combines information from shear and magnification by the cluster lens and is designed to easily incorporate possible additional information. We describe the technique and demonstrate its feasibility with simulated data. Both the cluster morphology and the total cluster mass are well reproduced.

" Cluster PIN: A new estimation method for the probability of informed trading " Abstract We present a new method for estimating the probability of informed trading (PIN). This method, called Cluster PIN (CPIN), is based on cluster analysis used in machine learning. CPIN does not require maximum likelihood estimation and thus avoids the computational issues that have been associated with some p...
متن کاملAlgorithms of maximum likelihood data clustering with applications
We address the problem of data clustering by introducing an unsupervised, parameter free approach based on maximum likelihood principle. Starting from the observation that data sets belonging to the same cluster share a common information, we construct an expression for the likelihood of any possible cluster structure. The likelihood in turn depends only on the Pearson’s coefficient of the data...
متن کاملUsing maximum likelihood linear regression for segment clustering and speaker identification
Many adaptation scenarios rely on clustering of either the test or training data. Although consistency between the clustering and adaptation objective functions is desired, most previous approaches have not implemented such consistency. This paper shows that the statistics used in Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) adaptation are su cient to cluster data with a consistent Maximum Likel...
متن کاملOn the inefficiency of the restricted maximum likelihood
The restricted maximum likelihood is preferred by many to the full maximum likelihood for estimation with variance component and other random coefficient models, because the variance estimator is unbiased. It is shown that this unbiasedness is accompanied in some balanced designs by an inflation of the mean squared error. An estimator of the cluster-level variance that is uniformly more efficie...
متن کاملParallelKnoppix - Rapid Creation of a Linux Cluster for MPI Parallel Processing Using Non-Dedicated Computers
This note describes ParallelKnoppix, a bootable CD that allows creation of a Linux cluster in very little time. An experienced user can create a cluster ready to execute MPI programs in less than 10 minutes. The computers used may be heterogeneous machines, of the IA-32 architecture. When the cluster is shut down, all machines except one are in their original state, and the last can be returned...
