Abstract:

With the advent of the information technology, the amount of data we are facing today is growing in both the scale and the dimensionality dramatically. It thus raises new challenges for some traditional machine learning tasks. This thesis is mainly concerned with manifold aligned density estimation problems. In particular, the work presented in this thesis includes efficiently learning the density distribution on very large-scale datasets and estimating the manifold aligned density through explicit manifold modeling. First, we propose an efficient and sparse density estimator: Fast Parzen Wind

This dissertation investigates the performance of two-class classi cation credit scoring data sets with low default ratios. The standard two-class parametric Gaussian and naive Bayes (NB), as well as the non-parametric Parzen classi ers are extended, using Bayes' rule, to include either a class imbalance or a Bernoulli prior. This is done with the aim of addressing the low default probability problem. Furthermore, the performance of Parzen classi cation with Silverman and Minimum Leave-one-out Entropy (MLE) Gaussian kernel bandwidth estimation is also investigated. It is shown that the n

Abstract:

The local likelihood method of Copas (1995a) allows for the incorporation into our parametric model of influence from data local to the point t at which we are estimating the true density function g(t). This is achieved through an analogy with censored data; we define the probability of a data point being considered observed, given that it has taken value xi, as where K is a scaled kernel function with smoothing parameter h. This leads to a likelihood function which gives more weight to observations close to t, hence the term ‘local likelihood’. After constructing this local likelihood functio

Abstract:

<p>In kernel density estimation, the most crucial step is to select a proper bandwidth (smoothing parameter). There are two conceptually different approaches to this problem: a subjective and an objective approach. In this report, we only consider the objective approach, which is based upon minimizing an error, defined by an error criterion. The most common objective bandwidth selection method is to minimize some squared error expression, but this method is not without its critics. This approach is said to not perform satisfactory in the tail(s) of the density, and to put too much weight on o

Abstract:

In the realm of high-dimensional statistics, regression and classification have received much attention, while density estimation has lagged behind. Yet there are compelling scientific questions which can only be addressed via density estimation using high-dimensional data, such as the paths of North Atlantic tropical cyclones. If we cast each track as a single high-dimensional data point, density estimation allows us to answer such questions via integration or Monte Carlo methods. In this dissertation, I present three new methods for estimating densities and intensities for high-dimensional d

Abstract:

The primary goal of this thesis is to provide a mixture-based framework for nonparametric density estimation. This framework advocates the use of a mixture model with a nonparametric mixing distribution to approximate the distribution of the data. The implementation of a mixture-based nonparametric density estimator generally requires the specification of parameters in a mixture model and the choice of the bandwidth parameter. Consequently, a nonparametric methodology consisting of both the estimation and selection steps is described. For the estimation of parameters in mixture models, we empl

Density estimation is a fundamental statistical problem.

In Michelson interferometry, many algorithms are used to detect the number of active laser sources at any given time. Conventional FFT-based non-parametric methods are widely used for this purpose. However, non-parametric methods are not the only possible option to distinguish the peaks in a spectrum, as these methods are not the most suitable methods for short data records and for closely spaced wavelengths. This thesis aims to provide solutions to these problems. It puts forward the use of parametric methods such as autoregressive methods and harmonic methods, and proposes two new algorithms

Given two samples from two populations, one could ask how similar the populations are, that is, how close their probability distributions are. For absolutely continuous distributions, one way to measure the proximity of such populations is to use a measure of distance (metric) between the probability density functions (which are unknown given that only samples are observed). In this work, we work with the integrated squared distance as metric. To measure the uncertainty of the squared integrated distance, we first model the uncertainty of each of the probability density functions using a nonpa

It improves on the fixed kernel in multimodal distributions where the size of modes is unequal, and where the degree of separation of modes varies.

The need for improvements over the fixed kernel density estimator in certain situations has been discussed extensively in the literature, particularly in the application of density estimation to mode hunting. Problem densities often exhibit skewness or multimodality with differences in scale for each mode. By varying the bandwidth in some fashion, it is possible to achieve significant improvements over the fixed bandwidth approach. In general, variable bandwidth kernel density estimators can be divided into two categories: those that vary the bandwidth with the estimation point (balloon estima
