Multivariate Discriminant Analysis and Maximum Penalized Likelihood Density Estimation
多元判别分析与最大惩罚似然密度估计
SUMMARY A new theoretical point of view is discussed in the framework of density estimation. The multivariate true density, viewed as a prior or penalizing factor in a Bayesian framework, is modelled by a Gibbs potential. Estimating the density consists in maximizing the posterior. For efficiency of time, we are interested in an approximate estimator f̂ = Bπ of the true density f, where B is a stochastic operator and π is the raw histogram. Then, we investigate the…
