平均方向或平均轴的非参数比较AI 解读

Samples of directional or axial measurements arise in geophysical, biological and econometric contexts. We represent the rotational difference between two mean directions (or two mean axes) as a direction (or axis). We then construct nonparametric simultaneous confidence sets for all pair-wise rotational differences among the mean directions or mean axes of $s$ samples. By specialization, this methodology yields nonparametric simultaneous tests for pairwise equality of…

基于含噪支持函数数据的凸集估计AI 解读

In problems of medical imaging and robotic vision, measurements of a convex set are sometimes obtained via the set's support function. The standard way in which the convex set is recovered from such data is to suppose that it is polygonal, model the errors as Normal random variables, and apply constrained maximum likelihood methods. Typically, the number of sides assumed of the polygon is equal to or a little less than the number of data points. However, from a statistical…

方向数据置信域的改进枢轴方法AI 解读

The importance of pivoting is well established in the context of nonparametric confidence regions. It ensures enhanced coverage accuracy. However, pivoting for directional data cannot be achieved simply by rescaling. A somewhat cumbersome pivotal method, which involves passing first into a space of higher dimension, has been developed by Fisher and Hall for samples of unit vectors. Although that method has some advantages over nonpivotal techniques, it does suffer from…

协方差函数的非参数估计AI 解读

We describe kernel methods for estimating the covariance function of a stationary stochastic process, and show how to ensure that the estimator has the positive semidefiniteness property. From a practical viewpoint, our method is significant because it does not demand a parametric model for covariance. From a technical angle, our results exhibit a striking departure from those in more familiar cases of kernel estimation. For example, in the context of covariance estimation,…

方向数据的自助法置信区域AI 解读

Methods are proposed for constructing bootstrap confidence regions for the mean direction of a random p-dimensional unit vector X with an arbitrary unimodal distribution on the p sphere. The approach of this article differs from that of other authors in that it is based on pivotal statistics. A general pivotal method is introduced that produces a wide variety of confidence regions on general p-dimensional spheres; included are confidence cones and likelihood-based regions.…

关于球面样条的一个注记AI 解读

SUMMARY This paper presents two families of curves for interpolating and smoothing sequences of points on the surface of the unit sphere. One family is a natural analogue of the usual splines for curve-fitting in the plane; the other is slightly less optimal but more convenient from a computational viewpoint.
