چکیده
We first describe a globally convergent matricial Newton-type algorithm designed to solve the multivariable spectrum approximation problem. Then, we apply this approximation procedure to the estimation of multivariate spectral densities, and test its effectiveness through simulation.

Hellinger Versus Kullback-Leibler Multivariable Spectrum Approximation
In this paper, we study a matricial version of a generalized moment problem with degree constraint. We introduce a new metric on multivariable spectral densities induced by the family of their spectral factors, which, in the scalar case, reduces to the Hellinger distance. We solve the corresponding constrained optimization problem via duality theory. A highly nontrivial existence theorem for th...
متن کاملEfficient Hellinger distance estimates for semiparametric models
Minimum distance techniques have become increasingly important tools for solving statistical estimation and inference problems. In particular, the successful application of the Hellinger distance approach to fully parametric models is well known. The corresponding optimal estimators, known as minimum Hellinger distance estimators, achieve efficiency at the model density and simultaneously posse...
متن کاملAn iterative hard thresholding approach to ℓ0 sparse Hellinger NMF
Performance of Non-negative Matrix Factorisation (NMF) can be diminished when the underlying factors consist of elements that overlap in the matrix to be factorised. The use of `0 sparsity may improve NMF, however such approaches are generally limited to Euclidean distance. We have previously proposed a stepwise `0 method for Hellinger distance, leading to improved sparse NMF. We extend sparse ...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Infinite Dimensional Bayesian Inverse Shape Acoustic Scattering and Its Numerical Approximation∗
We present and analyze an infinite dimensional Bayesian inference formulation, and its numerical approximation, for the inverse problem of inferring the shape of an obstacle from scattered acoustic waves. Given a Gaussian prior measure on the shape space, whose covariance operator is the inverse of the Laplacian, the Bayesian solution of the inverse problem is the posterior measure given by the...
متن کاملMinimax estimation of the L1 distance
We consider the problem of estimating the L1 distance between two discrete probability measures P and Q from empirical data in a nonasymptotic and large alphabet setting. When Q is known and one obtains n samples from P , we show that for every Q, the minimax rate-optimal estimator with n samples achieves performance comparable to that of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) with n lnn sample...
