Asymptotic Matrix Variate von-Mises Fisher and Bingham Distributions with Applications
Probability distributions in Stiefel manifold such as the von-Mises Fisher and Bingham distributions find diverse applications in signal processing and other applied sciences. Use of these statistical models in practice is complicated by the difficulties in numerical evaluation of their normalization constants. In this letter, we derive asymptotical approximations to the normalization constants...
متن کاملOn maximum likelihood estimation of the concentration parameter of von Mises–Fisher distributions
Maximum likelihood estimation of the concentration parameter of von Mises-Fisher distributions involves inverting the ratio [Formula: see text] of modified Bessel functions and computational methods are required to invert these functions using approximative or iterative algorithms. In this paper we use Amos-type bounds for [Formula: see text] to deduce sharper bounds for the inverse function, d...
متن کاملSimulation of the Matrix Bingham–von Mises–Fisher Distribution, With Applications to Multivariate and Relational Data
Orthonormal matrices play an important role in reduced-rank matrix approximations and the analysis of matrix-valued data. A matrix Bingham-von Mises-Fisher distribution is a probability distribution on the set of orthonormal matrices that includes linear and quadratic terms, and arises as a posterior distribution in latent factor models for multivariate and relational data. This article describ...
متن کاملHigh-order parameter approximation for von Mises-Fisher distributions
This paper concerns the issue of the maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) for the concentration parameters of the von Mises-Fisher (vMF) distributions, which are crucial to directional data analysis. In particular, we study the numerical approximation approach for solving the implicit nonlinear equation arising from building the MLE of the concentration parameter κ of vMF distributions. In addit...
متن کاملMoments of von Mises and Fisher distributions and applications.
The von Mises and Fisher distributions are spherical analogues to the Normal distribution on the unit circle and unit sphere, respectively. The computation of their moments, and in particular the second moment, usually involves solving tedious trigonometric integrals. Here we present a new method to compute the moments of spherical distributions, based on the divergence theorem. This method all...
