Probability Density Estimation Using Entropy Maximization
We propose a method for estimating probability density functions and conditional density functions by training on data produced by such distributions. The algorithm employs new stochastic variables that amount to coding of the input, using a principle of entropy maximization. It is shown to be closely related to the maximum likelihood approach. The encoding step of the algorithm provides an est...
متن کاملProbability Density Function Estimation using theMinMax
| The problem of initial probability assignment consistent with the available information about a probabilis-tic system is called a direct problem. Jaynes' maximum en-tropy principle (MaxEnt) provides a method for solving direct problems when the available information is in the form of moment constraints. On the other hand, given a probability distribution, the problem of nding a set of constra...
متن کاملProbability density estimation using artificial neural networks
We present an approach for the estimation of probability density functions (pdf) given a set of observations. It is based on the use of feedforward multilayer neural networks with sigmoid hidden units. The particular characteristic of the method is that the output of the network is not a pdf, therefore, the computation of the network’s integral is required. When this integral cannot be performe...
متن کاملSelf-consistent method for density estimation
The estimation of a density profile from experimental data points is a challenging problem, usually tackled by plotting a histogram. Prior assumptions on the nature of the density, from its smoothness to the specification of its form, allow the design of more accurate estimation procedures, such as Maximum Likelihood. Our aim is to construct a procedure that makes no explicit assumptions, but s...
متن کاملSelf-organizing mixture networks for probability density estimation
A self-organizing mixture network (SOMN) is derived for learning arbitrary density functions. The network minimizes the Kullback-Leibler information metric by means of stochastic approximation methods. The density functions are modeled as mixtures of parametric distributions. A mixture needs not to be homogenous, i.e., it can have different density profiles. The first layer of the network is si...
