Multivariate Modality Inference Using Gaussian Kernel
The number of modes (also known as modality) of a kernel density estimator (KDE) draws lots of interests and is important in practice. In this paper, we develop an inference framework on the modality of a KDE under multivariate setting using Gaussian kernel. We applied the modal clustering method proposed by [1] for mode hunting. A test statistic and its asymptotic distribution are derived to a...
متن کاملMultivariate online kernel density estimation with Gaussian kernels
We propose a novel approach to online estimation of probability density functions, which is based on kernel density estimation (KDE). The method maintains and updates a non-parametric model of the observed data, from which the KDE can be calculated. We propose an online bandwidth estimation approach and a compression/revitalization scheme which maintains the KDE’s complexity low. We compare the...
متن کاملApproximate inference of the bandwidth in multivariate kernel density estimation
Kernel density estimation is a popular and widely used non-parametric method for data-driven density estimation. Its appeal lies in its simplicity and ease of implementation, as well as its strong asymptotic results regarding its convergence to the true data distribution. However, a major difficulty is the setting of the bandwidth, particularly in high dimensions and with limited amount of data...
متن کاملMetropolis - Hastings Sampling Using Multivariate Gaussian Tangents
We present MH-MGT, a multivariate technique for sampling from twice-differentiable, log-concave probability density functions. MHMGT is Metropolis-Hastings sampling using asymmetric, multivariate Gaussian proposal functions constructed from Taylor-series expansion of the log-density function. The mean of the Gaussian proposal function represents the full Newton step, and thus MH-MGT is the stoc...
متن کاملFoundations of Multivariate Inference Using Modern Computers
Fisher analytically structured pivot functions (PFs) whose distribution does not suggested in 1930's depend on unknown parameters. These pivots provided a foundation for (asymptotic) statistical inference. Anderson (1958, p. 116) introduced the concept of a critical function of observables, which finds the rejection probability of a test for Fisher's pivot. Vinod (1998) shows that Godambe's (19...
