چکیده

Via a unified view of probability estimation, classification, and prediction, we derive a uniformlyoptimal combined-probability estimator, construct a classifier that uniformly approaches the error of the best possible label-invariant classifier, and improve existing results on pattern prediction and compression. ∗[email protected][email protected][email protected] §[email protected]

Compression-based methods for nonparametric on-line prediction, regression, classification and density estimation of time series

Jorma Rissanen has discovered some deep connections between universal coding (or universal data compression) and mathematical statistics. In particular, the MDL principle has been one of the most powerful methods of modern mathematical statistics. In this paper we apply Rissanen’s approach and ideas to some statistical problems concerned with time series. We address the problem of nonparametric...

New Optimal Observer Design Based on State Prediction for a Class of Non-linear Systems Through Approximation

This paper deals with the optimal state observer of non-linear systems based on a new strategy. Despite the development of state prediction in linear systems, state prediction for non-linear systems is still challenging. In this paper, to obtain a future estimation of the system states, initially Taylor series expansion of states in their receding horizons was achieved to any specified order an...

N ov 2 00 7 Compression - based methods for nonparametric density estimation , on - line prediction , regression and classification for time series

We address the problem of nonparametric estimation of characteristics for stationary and ergodic time series. We consider finite-alphabet time series and real-valued ones and the following four problems: i) estimation of the (limiting) probability P (u0 . . . us) for every s and each sequence u0 · · · us of letters from the process alphabet (or estimation of the density p(x0, . . . , xs) for re...
