Accelerated likelihood surface exploration: the likelihood ratchet.
The existence of multiple likelihood maxima necessitates algorithms that explore a large part of the tree space. However, because of computational constraints, stepwise addition-based tree-searching methods do not allow for this exploration in reasonable time. Here, I present an algorithm that increases the speed at which the likelihood landscape can be explored. The iterative algorithm combine...
متن کاملParsimony accelerated Maximum Likelihood searches
Phylogenetic search is a key tool used in a variety of biological research endeavours. However, this search problem is known to be computationally difficult, due to the astronomically large search space, making the use of heuristic methods necessary. The performance of heuristic methods for finding Maximum Likelihood (ML) trees can be improved by using parsimony as an initial estimator for ML. ...
متن کاملGPU accelerated acoustic likelihood computations
This paper introduces the use of Graphics Processors Unit (GPU) for computing acoustic likelihoods in a speech recognition system. In addition to their high availability, GPUs provide high computing performance at low cost. We have used a NVidia GeForce 8800GTX programmed with the CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) which shows the GPU as a parallel coprocessor. The acoustic likelihoods ...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Analysis for the Heteroscedastic Accelerated Failure Time Model
In this manuscript, we discuss the distinction of two types of data generating scheme for the accelerated failure time model. We identify two different empirical likelihood formulations under random right censoring, case-wise and residual-wise, each reflecting the relevant features of the stochastic model assumed to have generated the data. We specifically propose the case-wise empirical likeli...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood inference for the accelerated failure time model
Accelerated failure time (AFT) models are useful regression tools to study the association between a survival time and covariates. Semiparametric inference procedures have been proposed in an extensive literature. Among them, Fygenson and Ritov (1994) proposed an estimating equation which is monotone in the regression parameter and has some excellent properties. However, there exists a serious ...
