Density Estimation with Mercer Kernels
We present a new method for density estimation based on Mercer kernels. The density estimate can be understood as the density induced on a data manifold by a mixture of Gaussians fit in a feature space. As is usual, the feature space and data manifold are defined with any suitable positive-definite kernel function. We modify the standard EM algorithm for mixtures of Gaussians to infer the param...
متن کاملBridge estimation of the probability density at a point
to estimate the value taken by a probability density at a point in the state space. When the normalisation of the prior density is known, this value may be used to estimate a Bayes factor. It is shown that the multi-block Metropolis-Hastings estimators of Chib and Jeliazkov (2001) are bridge sampling estimators. This identification leads to estimators for the quantity of interest which may be s...
متن کاملOptimum Leaf Removal Increases Nitrogen Accumulation in Kernels of Maize Grown at High Density
Increasing plant density is one of the main approaches of achieving higher yields for modern maize crop. However, there exists leaf redundancy for high-density maize, and leaves of the upper canopy shade more competent leaves at the middle strata. In a two-year field experiments, Jinhai5, a semi-compact corn cultivar, was grown at a density of 105,000 plants ha-1 grown until 3 days after silkin...
متن کاملAsymptotically optimum tests for decentralized change detection
Assuming that sensors have full local memory, we introduce a novel test for the problem of decentralized change detection that is asymptotically optimum. According to our proposed scheme, sensors perform locally repeated SPRTs and communicate, asynchronously, their one-bit decisions to a fusion center. The fusion center in turn uses the sequentially acquired information to perform a CUSUM test ...
متن کاملExpanding Gaussian kernels for multivariate conditional density estimation
In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate the multivariate conditional density, f(mjx), a density over the output space m conditioned on any given input x. In particular, we are interested in cases where the number of available training data points is relatively sparse within x space. We start from a priori considerations and establish certain desirable characteristics in kernel functi...
