Regularized Maximum Likelihood for Intrinsic Dimension Estimation
We propose a new method for estimating the intrinsic dimension of a dataset by applying the principle of regularized maximum likelihood to the distances between close neighbors. We propose a regularization scheme which is motivated by divergence minimization principles. We derive the estimator by a Poisson process approximation, argue about its convergence properties and apply it to a number of...
متن کاملThe alter egos of the regularized maximum likelihood density estimators: deregularized maximum-entropy, Shannon, Rényi, Simpson, Gini, and stretched strings
Various properties of maximum likelihood density estimators penalizing the total variation of some derivative of the logarithm of the estimated density are discussed, in particular the properties of their dual formulations and connections to stretched (taut) string methodology.

متن کاملTradeoffs in regularized maximum-likelihood image restoration
All algorithms for three-dimensional deconvolution of fluorescence microscopical images have as a common goal the estimation of a specimen function (SF) that is consistent with the recorded image and the process for image formation and recording. To check for consistency, the image of the estimated SF predicted by the imaging operator is compared to the recorded image, and the similarity betwee...
متن کاملEntropy-regularized maximum-likelihood cluster mass reconstruction
We present a new method for reconstructing twodimensional mass maps of galaxy clusters from the image distortion of background galaxies. In contrast to most previous approaches, which directly convert locally averaged image ellipticities to mass maps (direct methods), our entropy-regularized maximum-likelihood method is an inverse approach. Albeit somewhat more expensive computationally, our me...
متن کاملThe Convergence of Lossy Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Given a sequence of observations (Xn)n≥1 and a family of probability distributions {Qθ}θ∈Θ, the lossy likelihood of a particular distribution Qθ given the data Xn 1 := (X1,X2, . . . ,Xn) is defined as Qθ(B(X 1 ,D)), where B(Xn 1 ,D) is the distortion-ball of radius D around the source sequence X n 1 . Here we investigate the convergence of maximizers of the lossy likelihood.
