Deconvolution Density Estimation on Spaces of Positive Definite Symmetric Matrices

چکیده
Motivated by applications in microwave engineering and diffusion tensor imaging, we study the problem of deconvolution density estimation on the space of positive definite symmetric matrices. We develop a nonparametric estimator for the density function of a random sample of positive definite matrices. Our estimator is based on the Helgason-Fourier transform and its inversion, the natural tools for analysis of compositions of random positive definite matrices. Under several smoothness conditions on the density of the intrinsic error in the random sample, we derive upper bounds on the rates of convergence of our nonparametric estimator to the true density.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Deconvolution on Spaces of Positive Definite Symmetric Matrices
Diffusion tensor imaging can be studied as a deconvolution density estimation problem on the space of positive definite symmetric matrices. We develop a nonparametric estimator for the common density function of a random sample of positive definite matrices. Our estimator is based on the Helgason-Fourier transform and its inversion, the natural tools for analysis of compositions of random posit...
متن کاملKernel Density Estimation on Spaces of Gaussian Distributions and Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
This paper analyses the kernel density estimation on spaces of Gaussian distributions endowed with different metrics. Explicit expressions of kernels are provided for the case of the 2-Wasserstein metric on multivariate Gaussian distributions and for the Fisher metric on multivariate centred distributions. Under the Fisher metric, the space of multivariate centred Gaussian distributions is isom...
متن کاملGyrovector Spaces on the Open Convex Cone of Positive Definite Matrices
In this article we review an algebraic definition of the gyrogroup and a simplified version of the gyrovector space with two fundamental examples on the open ball of finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces, which are the Einstein and M"{o}bius gyrovector spaces. We introduce the structure of gyrovector space and the gyroline on the open convex cone of positive definite matrices and explore its...
متن کاملSQP algorithms for solving Toeplitz matrix approximation problem
The problem we are interested in is the best approximation of a given matrix by a positive semi–definite symmetric Toeplitz matrix. Toeplitz matrices appear naturally in a variety of problems in engineering. Since positive semi–definite Toeplitz matrices can be viewed as shift invariant autocorrelation matrices, considerable attention has been paid to them, especially in the areas of stochastic...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Expansion of Spherical Functions on Symmetric Cones
In [7], Genkai Zhang gives the asymptotic expansion for the spherical functions on symmetric cones. This is done to prove a central limit theorem for these spaces. The work of Zhang is a natural continuation of the work of Audrey Terras [6] (the case of the positive definite matrices of rank 2) and of the work of Donald St.P. Richards [3] (the case of the positive definite matrices of all ranks...
