Asymptotic normality of a generalized maximum mean discrepancy estimator

نویسندگان

چکیده

In this paper, we propose an estimator of the generalized maximum mean discrepancy between several probability distributions, constructed by modifying a naive estimator. Asymptotic normality is obtained for both under equality these distributions and alternative hypothesis, so allowing to achieve k-sample test distributions. A simulation study that allows compare proposed existing ones provided.

Consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator in a zero-inflated generalized Poisson regression

Poisson regression models for count variables have been utilized in many applications. However, in many problems overdispersion and zeroinflation occur. We study in this paper regression models based on the generalized Poisson distribution (Consul (1989)). These regression models which have been used for about 15 years do not belong to the class of generalized linear models considered by McCull...

Asymptotic normality of Powell’s kernel estimator

In this paper, we establish asymptotic normality of Powell’s kernel estimator for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the quantile regression estimator for both i.i.d. and weakly dependent data. As an application, we derive the optimal bandwidth that minimizes the approximate mean squared error of the kernel estimator.

Optimized Maximum Mean Discrepancy

We propose a method to optimize the representation and distinguishability of samples from two probability distributions, by maximizing the estimated power of a statistical test based on the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD). This optimized MMD is applied to the setting of unsupervised learning by generative adversarial networks (GAN), in which a model attempts to generate realistic samples, and a ...

Asymptotic normality of a nonparametric estimator of sample coverage

This paper establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic normality of the nonparametric estimator of sample coverage proposed by Good [Biometrica 40 (1953) 237–264]. This new necessary and sufficient condition extends the validity of the asymptotic normality beyond the previously proven cases.

Maximum Mean Discrepancy Imitation Learning

Imitation learning is an efficient method for many robots to acquire complex skills. Some recent approaches to imitation learning provide strong theoretical performance guarantees. However, there remain crucial practical issues, especially during the training phase, where the training strategy may require execution of control policies that are possibly harmful to the robot or its environment. M...
