On the connection between marginal problem, statistical estimation, and Möbius formula

چکیده
A solution to the marginal problem is obtained in a form of parametric exponential (Gibbs-Markov) distribution, where the unknown parameters are obtained by an optimization procedure that agrees with the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate. With respect to a difficult performance of the method we propose also an alternative approach, providing the original basis of marginals can be appropriately extended. Then the (numerically feasible) solution can be obtained either by the maximum pseudo-likelihood (MPL) estimate, or directly by Möbius formula.

Möbius Deconvolution on the Hyperbolic Plane with Application to Impedance Density Estimation
In this paper we consider a novel statistical inverse problem on the Poincaré, or Lobachevsky, upper (complex) half plane. Here the Riemannian structure is hyperbolic and a transitive group action comes from the space of 2 × 2 real matrices of determinant one via Möbius transformations. Our approach is based on a deconvolution technique which relies on the Helgason Fourier calculus adapted to t...
متن کاملGeneralized Baer-Invariant of a Pair of Groups and Marginal Extension
In this paper, we give connection between the order of the generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups and its factor groups, when ? is considered to be the specific variety. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition in which the generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of groups can be embedded into the generalized Baer-invariant of pair of its factor groups.
متن کاملLearning Translations from Comparable Corpora
This thesis examines the possibility of using comparable corpora to augment statistical models of translation. Treating comparable corpora as marginal samples from an aligned bilingual joint distribution, the estimation of translation models from a combination of bilingual parallel and comparable corpora is seen as a variation of the labelled-unlabelled problem [Seeger, 2000b]. Results on synth...
متن کاملTweedie's Formula and Selection Bias.
We suppose that the statistician observes some large number of estimates z(i), each with its own unobserved expectation parameter μ(i). The largest few of the z(i)'s are likely to substantially overestimate their corresponding μ(i)'s, this being an example of selection bias, or regression to the mean. Tweedie's formula, first reported by Robbins in 1956, offers a simple empirical Bayes approach...
متن کاملRecommendation of a Standard Method for Age Estimation in Iranian Population Based on Two Dental Parameters
Purpose: The aim of this study was to define a standard formula for age estimation based on two dental parameters proposed by Lamendin in Iranian population.Materials and Methods: Immediately after atrumatic extraction of 333 single rooted teeth of deceased bodies with known age and sex in Tehran Medical Legal Organization, the transparency, periodontosis and their indices were analyzed, and ag...
