Bayesian Methods of Parameter Estimation
The frequentest approach is the classical approach to parameter estimation. It assumes that there is an unknown but objectively fixed parameter θ [3]. It chooses the value of θ which maximizes the likelihood of observed data [4], in other words, making the available data as likely as possible. A common example is the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). The frequentest approach is statistically ...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Bayesian Classification of Multispectral Data
In this paper, we present two algorithms for estimating the parameters of a Bayes classifier for remote sensing multispectral data. The first algorithm uses the Support Vector Machines (SVM) as a multi-dimensional density estimator. This algorithm is a supervised one in the sense that it needs in advance, the specification of the number of classes and some training samples for each class. The s...
متن کاملBayesian estimation of genomic distance.
We present a Bayesian approach to the problem of inferring the number of inversions and translocations separating two species. The main reason for developing this method is that it will allow us to test hypotheses about the underlying mechanisms, such as the distribution of inversion track lengths or rate constancy among lineages. Here, we apply these methods to comparative maps of eggplant and...
متن کاملA Data Driven Parameter Estimation for the Three- Parameter Weibull Population from Censored Samples
A method is described for the calculation of the three-parameter Weibull distribution function from censored samples. The method introduces a data driven technique based on an adapted Gaussian like kernel to match the censoring scheme. The method minimizes the Cramer von Mises distance from a non-parametric density estimate and the parametric estimate at the order statistics. The maximum likeli...
متن کاملBayesian population size estimation using Dirichlet process mixtures.
We introduce a new Bayesian nonparametric method for estimating the size of a closed population from multiple-recapture data. Our method, based on Dirichlet process mixtures, can accommodate complex patterns of heterogeneity of capture, and can transparently modulate its complexity without a separate model selection step. Additionally, it can handle the massively sparse contingency tables gener...
