Tree Density Estimation

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2023
We study the problem of estimating the density $f(\boldsymbol x)$ of a random vector ${\boldsymbol X}$ in $\mathbb R^d$. For a spanning tree $T$ defined on the vertex set $\{1,\dots ,d\}$, the tree density $f_{T}$ is a product of bivariate conditional densities. An optimal spanning tree minimizes the Kullback-Leibler divergence between $f$ and $f_{T}$.

Density-Difference Estimation [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Computation, 2013
We address the problem of estimating the difference between two probability densities. A naive approach is a two-step procedure of first estimating two densities separately and then computing their difference. However, this procedure does not necessarily work well because the first step is performed without regard to the second step, and thus a small ...

On Conditional Density Estimation [PDF]

open access: yesStatistica Neerlandica, 2002
With the aim of mitigating the possible problem of negativity in the estimation of the conditional density function, we introduce a so‐called re‐weighted Nadaraya‐Watson (RNW) estimator. The proposed RNW estimator is constructed by a slight modification of the well‐known Nadaraya‐Watson smoother. With a detailed asymptotic analysis, we demonstrate that

Asymptotic Convergence of Soft-Constrained Neural Networks for Density Estimation

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
A soft-constrained neural network for density estimation (SC-NN-4pdf) has recently been introduced to tackle the issues arising from the application of neural networks to density estimation problems (in particular, the satisfaction of the second ...

Improving K-Nearest Neighbor Approaches for Density-Based Pixel Clustering in Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Images

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
We investigated nearest-neighbor density-based clustering for hyperspectral image analysis. Four existing techniques were considered that rely on a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) graph to estimate local density and to propagate labels through algorithm ...

Multiscale Feature Adaptive Integration for Crowd Counting in Highly Congested Scenes

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Due to extreme scale variations in highly congested scenes, the accuracy of CNN-based crowd counting approaches still has considerable room for further improvements.

Kernel density estimation via diffusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a new adaptive kernel density estimator based on linear diffusion processes. The proposed estimator builds on existing ideas for adaptive smoothing by incorporating information from a pilot density estimate.

Density estimates for Canada lynx vary among estimation methods

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Unbiased population density estimates are critical for ecological research and wildlife management but are often difficult to obtain. Researchers use a variety of sampling and statistical methods to generate estimates of density, but few studies have ...

A Neural Probabilistic Graphical Model for Learning and Decision Making in Evolving Structured Environments

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
A difficult and open problem in artificial intelligence is the development of agents that can operate in complex environments which change over time. The present communication introduces the formal notions, the architecture, and the training algorithm of

Bayesian multivariate mixed-scale density estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Although continuous density estimation has received abundant attention in the Bayesian nonparametrics literature, there is limited theory on multivariate mixed scale density estimation.
