Aggregate data and the Prohorov Metric Framework: Efficient gradient computation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss efficient methods for computing gradients in inverse problems for estimation of distributions for individual parameters in models where only aggregate or population level data is available. The ideas are illustrated with two examples arising in applications.

Least Squares Estimation of Probability Measures in the Prohorov Metric Framework
We consider nonparametric estimation of probability measures for parameters in problems where only aggregate (population level) data are available. We summarize an existing computational method for the estimation problem which has been developed over the past several decades [4, 8, 16, 21]. Significant new theoretical results are presented which establish the existence and consistency of very g...

The Wisdom of Crowds, an innovative theory described in social science, claims that the aggregate decisions made by a group will often be better than those of its individual members if the four fundamental criteria of this theory are satisfied. This theory used for in clustering problems. Previous researches showed that this theory can significantly increase the stability and performance of...
متن کاملAn Efficient Secret Sharing-based Storage System for Cloud-based Internet of Things
Internet of things (IoTs) is the newfound information architecture based on the internet that develops interactions between objects and services in a secure and reliable environment. As the availability of many smart devices rises, secure and scalable mass storage systems for aggregate data is required in IoTs applications. In this paper, we propose a new method for storing aggregate data in Io...

متن کاملA truncated aggregate smoothing Newton method for minimax problems
Aggregate function is a useful smoothing function to the max-function of some smooth functions and has been used to solve minimax problems, linear and nonlinear programming, generalized complementarity problems, etc. The aggregate function is a single smooth but complicated function, its gradient and Hessian calculations are timeconsuming. In order to gain more efficient performance of aggregat...
