The problem of parameter estimation and statistical inference when fitting an M/G/∞ queuing process to data is considered in the situation where the times of arrival and departure are unknown; instead recurrent events, which occur according to a mixed Poisson process, are observed between the times of arrival and departure.

This paper develops and illustrates a new maximum-likelihood based method for the identification of Hammerstein–Wiener model structures. A central aspect is that a very general situation is considered wherein multivariable data, non-invertible Hammerstein and Wiener nonlinearities, and coloured stochastic disturbances both before and after the Wiener nonlinearity are all catered for. The method...

A simple method for determination of the estimation error of physical parameters due to noise and undermodelling is developed. Two or more data sets with same input is required. Examples indicate that the method gives good results for linear and nonlinear models.

This paper introduces a non-uniform filter formulation into the Brainard and Freeman Bayesian color constancy technique. The formulation comprises sensor measurements taken through a non-uniform filter, of spatially-varying spectral sensitivity, placed on the camera lens. The main goal of this paper is twofold. First, it presents a framework in which sensor measurements obtained through a non-u...

This research report describes an approach to parameter estimation for physical models of sound-generating systems using distal teachers and forward models, [Jordan and Rumelhart, 1992, Jordan, 1990]. The general problem is to nd an inverse model of a sound-generating system that transforms sounds to action parameters; these parameters constitute a model-based description of the sound. We rst s...

To what extent do people anchor thoughts about social relationships in terms of space and time? Three studies used drawing and estimation tasks to further explore the conceptual structure of “social” distance. In the three studies, participants read short narratives, drew what they imagined happening during the narrative, then estimated both time and distance. In general, results suggest that t...
