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...
We analyze differences between two information-theoretically motivated ap proaches 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 ...
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.
We introduce a new method for attribute value selection, which is driven by the minimum description length principle. We demonstrate the viability of the approach on the Wisconsin breast cancer data set, show a working exa mple and evaluate the approach against earlier systems. Comparisons on different domains are also given. Empirical results show that our approach consistently outperforms com...
An instance crucial to most problems in signal processing is the selection of the order of a presupposed model. Examples are the determination of the putative number of signals present in white Gaussian noise or the number of noisecontaminated sources impinging on a passive sensor array. It is shown that maximum a posteriori Bayesian arguments, coupled with maximum entropy considerations, offer...
The central idea of the MDL (Minimum Description Length) principle is to represent a class of models (hypotheses) by a universal model capable of imitating the behavior of any model in the class. The principle calls for a model class whose representative assigns the largest probability or density to the observed data. Two examples of universal models for parametric classesM are the normalized m...
We present an unsupervised inference procedure for phrase-based translation models based on the minimum description length principle. In comparison to current inference techniques that rely on long pipelines of training heuristics, this procedure represents a theoretically wellfounded approach to directly infer phrase lexicons. Empirical results show that the proposed inference procedure has th...
