Monte-Carlo Expectation Maximization for Decentralized POMDPs
We address two significant drawbacks of state-ofthe-art solvers of decentralized POMDPs (DECPOMDPs): the reliance on complete knowledge of the model and limited scalability as the complexity of the domain grows. We extend a recently proposed approach for solving DEC-POMDPs via a reduction to the maximum likelihood problem, which in turn can be solved using EM. We introduce a model-free version ...
متن کاملAscent-based Monte Carlo expectation– maximization
The expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular tool for maximizing likelihood functions in the presence of missing data. Unfortunately, EM often requires the evaluation of analytically intractable and high dimensional integrals. The Monte Carlo EM (MCEM) algorithm is the natural extension of EM that employs Monte Carlo methods to estimate the relevant integrals.Typically, a very large...
متن کاملReliability Analysis for Monte Carlo Simulation Using the Expectation - Maximization Algorithm for a Weibull Mixture Distribution Model
Survival/reliability analysis plays an important role in medicine, epidemiology, engineering, biology, sociology, economics, and many other fields. The outcome of survival studies is the time to the occurrence of a certain event, which is referred to as the survival time, failure time, lifetime data, or event time, e.g., the recurrence of an illness, death, failure of equipment, births, and div...
متن کاملAn Optimal Algorithm for Monte Carlo Estimation
A typical approach to estimate an unknown quantity is to design an experiment that produces a random variable Z distributed in 0; 1] with EZ] = , run this experiment independently a number of times and use the average of the outcomes as the estimate. In this paper, we consider the case when no a priori information about Z is known except that is distributed in 0; 1]. We describe an approximatio...
متن کاملLearning Sigmoid Belief Networks via Monte Carlo Expectation Maximization
Belief networks are commonly used generative models of data, but require expensive posterior estimation to train and test the model. Learning typically proceeds by posterior sampling, variational approximations, or recognition networks, combined with stochastic optimization. We propose using an online Monte Carlo expectationmaximization (MCEM) algorithm to learn the maximum a posteriori (MAP) e...
