SMML Estimators for 1-Dimensional Continuous Data
Amethod is given for calculating the strict minimummessage length (SMML) estimator for 1-dimensional exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics. A set of n equations are found that the n cut-points of the SMML estimator must satisfy. These equations can be solved using Newton’s method and this approach is used to produce new results and to replicate results that C. S. Wallace ob...
متن کاملSMML estimators for exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics
The minimum message length principle is an information theoretic criterion that links data compression with statistical inference. This paper studies the strict minimum message length (SMML) estimator for d-dimensional exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics, for all d. The partition of an SMML estimator is shown to consist of convex polytopes (i.e. convex polygons when d = 2...
متن کاملSMML estimators for linear regression and tessellations of hyperbolic space
The strict minimum message length (SMML) principle links data compression with inductive inference. The corresponding estimators have many useful properties but they can be hard to calculate. We investigate SMML estimators for linear regression models and we show that they have close connections to hyperbolic geometry. When equipped with the Fisher information metric, the linear regression mode...
متن کاملClustering 1 - dimensional continuous data
How to derive meaningful information from continuous data is the central topic of this work. When age data about 10 000 or 100 000 people is given, how can we represent the data in a way that is understandable to the analyst and also reveals signi cant metainformation about the people included in the datasets? In this work I am reviewing di erent clustering algorithms and proposing the most sui...
متن کاملDensity Estimators for Truncated Dependent Data
In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...
