KFAS: Exponential Family State Space Models in R

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2017
State space modeling is an efficient and flexible method for statistical inference of a broad class of time series and other data. This paper describes the R package KFAS for state space modeling with the observations from an exponential family, namely ...

Maximum Entropy Fundamentals

open access: yesEntropy, 2001
: In its modern formulation, the Maximum Entropy Principle was promoted by E.T. Jaynes, starting in the mid-fifties. The principle dictates that one should look for a distribution, consistent with available information, which maximizes the entropy ...

Deep Exponential Families

open access: yesCoRR, 2014
We describe \textit{deep exponential families} (DEFs), a class of latent variable models that are inspired by the hidden structures used in deep neural networks. DEFs capture a hierarchy of dependencies between latent variables, and are easily generalized to many settings through exponential families.

Exponential Family Embeddings

open access: yesCoRR, 2016
Word embeddings are a powerful approach for capturing semantic similarity among terms in a vocabulary. In this paper, we develop exponential family embeddings, a class of methods that extends the idea of word embeddings to other types of high-dimensional data.

Intrinsic Losses Based on Information Geometry and Their Applications

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
One main interest of information geometry is to study the properties of statistical models that do not depend on the coordinate systems or model parametrization; thus, it may serve as an analytic tool for intrinsic inference in statistics. In this paper,

Double-Exponential-X Family of Distributions: Properties and Applications

open access: yesIbn Al-Haitham Journal for Pure and Applied Sciences, 2023
A new family of distribution named Double-Exponential-X family is proposed. The proposed family is generated from the double exponential distribution.

Reproductive Exponential Families

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1983
Consider a full and steep exponential model $\mathscr{M}$ with model function $a(\theta)b(x)\exp\{\theta \cdot t(x)\}$ and a sample $x_1, \cdots, x_n$ from $\mathscr{M}$. Let $\bar{t} = \{t(x_1) + \cdots + t(x_n)\}/n$ and let $\bar{t} = (\bar{t}_1, \bar{t}_2)$ be a partition of the canonical statistic $\bar{t}$.

Using Geometry to Select One Dimensional Exponential Families That Are Monotone Likelihood Ratio in the Sample Space, Are Weakly Unimodal and Can Be Parametrized by a Measure of Central Tendency

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
One dimensional exponential families on finite sample spaces are studied using the geometry of the simplex Δn°-1  and that of a transformation Vn-1 of its interior.

Leaf count overdispersion in coffee seedlings

open access: yesCiência Rural, 2019
: Coffee crops play an important role in Brazilian agriculture, with a high level of social and economic participation resulting from the jobs created in the supply chain and from the income obtained by producers and the revenue generated for the ...

On the Jensen–Shannon Symmetrization of Distances Relying on Abstract Means

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The Jensen–Shannon divergence is a renowned bounded symmetrization of the unbounded Kullback–Leibler divergence which measures the total Kullback–Leibler divergence to the average mixture distribution.
