Smoothed log-concave maximum likelihood estimation with applications
We study the smoothed log-concave maximum likelihood estimator of a probability distribution on Rd. This is a fully automatic nonparametric density estimator, obtained as a canonical smoothing of the log-concave maximum likelihood estimator. We demonstrate its attractive features both through an analysis of its theoretical properties and a simulation study. Moreover, we use our methodology to d...
متن کاملTheoretical properties of the log-concave maximum likelihood estimator of a multidimensional density
Abstract: We present theoretical properties of the log-concave maximum likelihood estimator of a density based on an independent and identically distributed sample in R. Our study covers both the case where the true underlying density is log-concave, and where this model is misspecified. We begin by showing that for a sequence of log-concave densities, convergence in distribution implies much s...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of a multi- dimensional log-concave density
Let X1, . . . ,Xn be independent and identically distributed random vectors with a (Lebesgue) density f. We first prove that, with probability 1, there is a unique log-concave maximum likelihood estimator f̂n of f. The use of this estimator is attractive because, unlike kernel density estimation, the method is fully automatic, with no smoothing parameters to choose. Although the existence proof ...
متن کاملLecture 22: Maximum Likelihood Estimator
In the first part of this lecture, we will deal with the consistency and asymptotic distribution of maximum likelihood estimator. The second part of the lecture focuses on signal estimation/tracking. An estimator is said to be consistent if it converges to the quantity being estimated. This section speaks about the consistency of MLE and conditions under which MLE is consistent.
متن کاملthe evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology
abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...
