Scaling-up Empirical Risk Minimization: Optimization of Incomplete $U$-statistics
In a wide range of statistical learning problems such as ranking, clustering or metric learning among others, the risk is accurately estimated by U-statistics of degree d ≥ 1, i.e. functionals of the training data with low variance that take the form of averages over k-tuples. From a computational perspective, the calculation of such statistics is highly expensive even for a moderate sample siz...
متن کاملIncomplete generalized U-statistics for food risk assessment.
This article proposes statistical tools for quantitative evaluation of the risk due to the presence of some particular contaminants in food. We focus on the estimation of the probability of the exposure to exceed the so-called provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI), when both consumption data and contamination data are independently available. A Monte Carlo approximation of the plug-in esti...
متن کاملOn minimum variance thresholding
Variance-based thresholding methods could be biased from the threshold found by expert and the underlying mechanism responsible for this bias is explored in this paper. An analysis on the minimum class variance thresholding (MCVT) and the Otsu method, which minimizes the within-class variance, is carried out. It turns out that the bias for the Otsu method is due to differences in class variance...
متن کاملOrdering of Order Statistics Using Variance Majorization
In this paper, we study stochastic comparisons of order statistics of independent random variables with proportional hazard rates, using the notion of variance majorization.
متن کاملU-Statistics Based on Spacings
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic theory for U -statistics based on sample spacings, i.e. the gaps between successive observations. The usual asymptotic theory for U -statistics does not apply here because spacings are dependent variables. However, under the null hypothesis, the uniform spacings can be expressed as conditionally independent Exponential random variables. We exploit th...
