Parameter estimation using Volterra series
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polynomial approximation to the likelihood function allows for marginalised estimates of model parameters to be obtained in the form of a Volterra series. The series can be applied directly to the observed data vector in an iterative fashion, to converge upon a set of parameter MAP estimates with low computational cost. A sample application towards OCR is used as an illustration.

Non-linear Parameter Estimation Using Volterra Series with Multi-tone Excitation
The functional form representation of input-output relationship through Volterra series provides a structured mathematical platform for the study of nonlinear systems. It employs multi-dimensional kernels, which upon convolution with the applied excitation forces, express system response in the form of a power series. Frequency domain transforms of these multi-dimensional kernels provide higher...
متن کاملA New Solution to Volterra Series Estimation
Volterra series expansions represent an important model for the representation, analysis and synthesis of nonlinear dynamical systems. However, a significant problem with this approach to system identification is that the number of terms required to be estimated grows exponentially with the order of the expansion. In practice, therefore, the Volterra series is typically truncated to consist of,...

The modeling of biological systems often involves the estimation of model parameters. Estimation methods have been developed to model these systems in a boundederror context due to the uncertainty involved in biological processes. This application of bounded methods to nonlinear and higher-dimensional systems is computationally expensive resulting in excessive simulation times. One possible sol...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Canonical Biological Systems Models
Dynamical models are the cornerstone of computational systems biology. While many methods are available for testing and simulating dynamical models, the estimation of their parameter values continues to be a difficult challenge. In recent years, this challenge has been addressed extensively for canonical models within Biochemical Systems Theory (BST), and while still no generally satisfactory s...
