Outlier Tolerant Parameter Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
Real world does not only provide noisy instead of perfect data. Every experimentalist has now and then to deal with outliers. The situation is simple if isolated points stick out of the general trend by a large amount. Arguments can then usually be found why such a point should be disregarded. The situation becomes critical if the outliers are not that obvious. This is usually the case for parameter space dimensions 3. We present a Bayesian solution to the out-lierproblem which assumes that the uncertainties assigned to the experimental data are only estimates of the true error variances.

Identification of outliers types in multivariate time series using genetic algorithm
Multivariate time series data, often, modeled using vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) model. But presence of outliers can violates the stationary assumption and may lead to wrong modeling, biased estimation of parameters and inaccurate prediction. Thus, detection of these points and how to deal properly with them, especially in relation to modeling and parameter estimation of VARMA m...
متن کاملAdaptive Outlier-tolerant Exponential Smoothing Prediction Algorithms with Applications to Predict the Temperature in Spacecraft
The exponential smoothing prediction algorithm is widely used in spaceflight control and in process monitoring as well as in economical prediction. There are two key conundrums which are open: one is about the selective rule of the parameter in the exponential smoothing prediction, and the other is how to improve the bad influence of outliers on prediction. In this paper a new practical outlier...
متن کاملOutlier-Tolerant Kalman Filter of State Vectors in Linear Stochastic System
The Kalman filter is widely used in many different fields. Many practical applications and theoretical results show that the Kalman filter is very sensitive to outliers in a measurement process. In this paper some reasons why the Kalman Filter is sensitive to outliers are analyzed and a series of outlier-tolerant algorithms are designed to be used as substitutes of the Kalman Filter. These outl...
متن کاملOn Robust Estimation of High Dimensional Generalized Linear Models
We study robust high-dimensional estimation of generalized linear models (GLMs); where a small number k of the n observations can be arbitrarily corrupted, and where the true parameter is high dimensional in the “p n” regime, but only has a small number s of non-zero entries. There has been some recent work connecting robustness and sparsity, in the context of linear regression with corrupted o...
متن کاملRobust MRI brain tissue parameter estimation by multistage outlier rejection.
This article addresses the problem of the tissue type parameter estimation in brain MRI in the presence of partial volume effects. Automatic MRI brain tissue classification is hampered by partial volume effects that are caused by the finite resolution of the acquisition process. Due to this effect intensity distributions in brain MRI cannot be well modeled by a simple mixture of Gaussians and t...
