Generalized Fiducial Inference via Discretization
Abstract: In addition to the usual sources of error that have been long studied by statisticians, many data sets have been rounded off in some manner, either by the measuring device or storage on a computer. In this paper we investigate theoretical properties of generalized fiducial distribution introduced in Hannig (2009) for discretized data. Limit theorems are provided for both fixed sample ...
متن کاملPSF Estimation via Covariance Matching
This paper proposes a new covariance matching based technique for blurred image PSF (point spread function) estimation. A patch based image degradation model is proposed for the covariance matching estimation framework. A robust covariance metric which is based on Riemannian manifold is adapted to measure the distance between covariance matrices. The optimal PSF is computed by minimizing the di...
متن کاملGeneralized Fiducial Inference: A Review
R. A. Fisher, the father of modern statistics, proposed the idea of fiducial inference during the first half of the 20th century. While his proposal led to interesting methods for quantifying uncertainty, other prominent statisticians of the time did not accept Fisher’s approach as it became apparent that some of Fisher’s bold claims about the properties of fiducial distribution did not hold up...
متن کاملFiducial Inference and Belief Functions
One aspect of Fisher’s work which has puzzled a great many statisticians is the idea of Fiducial Inference. Using “pivotal” variables, Fisher moves from logical statements about restrictions of parameter spaces to probabilistic statements about parameters. The method works, but with a lot of caveats: the pivotal variables must be sufficient statistics, must be continuous, &c. Dempster’s explora...
متن کاملScalable Sparse Covariance Estimation via Self-Concordance
We consider the class of convex minimization problems, composed of a self-concordant function, such as the log det metric, a convex data fidelity term h(·) and, a regularizing – possibly non-smooth – function g(·). This type of problems have recently attracted a great deal of interest, mainly due to their omnipresence in top-notch applications. Under this locally Lipschitz continuous gradient s...
