Accelerating Extreme Search of Multidimensional Functions Based on Natural Gradient Descent with Dirichlet Distributions

open access: greenMathematics, 2022
The high accuracy attainment, using less complex architectures of neural networks, remains one of the most important problems in machine learning. In many studies, increasing the quality of recognition and prediction is obtained by extending neural ...

A new statistical method to analyze Morris Water Maze data using Dirichlet distribution [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
The Morris Water Maze (MWM) is a behavioral test widely used in the field of neuroscience to evaluate spatial learning memory of rodents. However, the interpretation of results is often impaired by the common use of statistical tests based on ...

BMDD: A probabilistic framework for accurate imputation of zero-inflated microbiome sequencing data. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology
Microbiome sequencing data are inherently sparse and compositional, with excessive zeros arising from biological absence or insufficient sampling. These zeros pose significant challenges for downstream analyses, particularly those that require log ...

Compositional Data Modeling through Dirichlet Innovations

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
The Dirichlet distribution is a well-known candidate in modeling compositional data sets. However, in the presence of outliers, the Dirichlet distribution fails to model such data sets, making other model extensions necessary.

Assessing Multinomial Distributions with a Bayesian Approach

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
This paper introduces a unified Bayesian approach for testing various hypotheses related to multinomial distributions. The method calculates the Kullback–Leibler divergence between two specified multinomial distributions, followed by comparing the change

Smoothed Dirichlet Distribution

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2023
When the cells are ordinal in the multinomial distribution, i.e., when cells have a natural ordering, guaranteeing that the borrowing information among neighboring cells makes sense conceptually.

Parameter Estimation of the Dirichlet Distribution Based on Entropy

open access: yesAxioms, 2023
The Dirichlet distribution as a multivariate generalization of the beta distribution is especially important for modeling categorical distributions. Hence, its applications vary within a wide range from modeling cell probabilities of contingency tables ...

Null Models for Formal Contexts

open access: yesInformation, 2020
Null model generation for formal contexts is an important task in the realm of formal concept analysis. These random models are in particular useful for, but not limited to, comparing the performance of algorithms.

Some recent advances in random walks and random environments* [PDF]

open access: yesESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2023
Recent contributions to random walks in random environments and related topics are presented. We focus on non parametric estimation for one dimensional random walks in random environment and on the Dirichlet distribution on decomposable graphs.

STATISTICAL MODEL OF AERODYNAMIC IMPACT ON THE LARGE-SPAN COVERAGE

open access: yesInternational Journal for Computational Civil and Structural Engineering, 2023
The aim of the study was to study the possibility of using the Dirichlet distribution as a statistical model of the process of dynamic interaction of large-span structures with aerodynamic load. As an object of research, a model of a hangar building was
