Multiple-snapshots BSS with general covariance structures: A partial maximum likelihood approach involving weighted joint diagonalization
Maximum Likelihood (ML) blind separation of Gaussian sources with different temporal covariance structures generally requires the estimation of the underlying temporal covariance matrices. The possible availability of multiple realizations (“snapshots”) of the mixtures (all synchronized to some external stimulus) may enable such estimation. In general, however, since these temporal covariance m...
متن کاملMultiple-trait restricted maximum likelihood for simulated measures of ovulation rate with underlying multivariate normal distributions.
A data set that was used to estimate covariance components with REML for an animal model with eight measures of ovulation rate treated as separate traits was used as a template to simulate data sets of eight multivariate normal traits that were then truncated to binomial traits. The model for simulation included eight measures on 610 animals with 1,071 animals in the numerator relationship matr...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood and Restricted Likelihood Solutions in Multiple-Method Studies
A formulation of the problem of combining data from several sources is discussed in terms of random effects models. The unknown measurement precision is assumed not to be the same for all methods. We investigate maximum likelihood solutions in this model. By representing the likelihood equations as simultaneous polynomial equations, the exact form of the Groebner basis for their stationary poin...
متن کاملDerivative-intense Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Covariance Components for Animal Models
INTRODUCTION Estimation of covariance components by Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) fitting an animal model is widely carried out using a derivative-free (DF) algorithm to locate the maximum of the likelihood function. While such algorithms have proven robust and easy to use, they are generally slow to converge, often requiring many likelihood evaluations, in particular for multivariate an...
متن کاملSequential transformation for multiple traits for estimation of (co)variance components with a derivative-free algorithm for restricted maximum likelihood.
Transformation of multiple-trait records that undergo sequential selection can be used with derivative-free algorithms to maximize the restricted likelihood in estimation of covariance matrices as with derivative methods. Data transformation with appropriate parts of the Choleski decomposition of the current estimate of the residual covariance matrix results in mixed-model equations that are ea...
