隐马尔可夫模型的子空间估计与预测方法AI 解读

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are probabilistic functions of finite Markov chains, or, put in other words, state space models with finite state space. In this paper, we examine subspace estimation methods for HMMs whose output lies a finite set as well. In particular, we study the geometric structure arising from the nonminimality of the linear state space representation of HMMs, and consistency of a subspace algorithm arising from a certain factorization of the singular value…

离散分布混合密度的非参数估计AI 解读

By a mixture density is meant a density of the form πμ(⋅)=∫πθ(⋅)×μ(dθ), where (πθ)θ∈Θ is a family of probability densities and μ is a probability measure on Θ. We consider the problem of identifying the unknown part of this model, the mixing distribution μ, from a finite sample of independent observations from πμ. Assuming that the mixing distribution has a density function, we wish to estimate this density within appropriate function classes. A general approach is proposed…

马尔可夫状态切换自回归模型中极大似然估计的渐近性质AI 解读

An autoregressive process with Markov regime is an autoregressive process for which the regression function at each time point is given by a nonobservable Markov chain. In this paper we consider the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator in a possibly nonstationary process of this kind for which the hidden state space is compact but not necessarily finite. Consistency and asymptotic normality are shown to follow from uniform exponential forgetting of the…

可逆跳跃、出生死亡及更一般的连续时间 MCMC 采样器AI 解读

Summary Reversible jump methods are the most commonly used Markov chain Monte Carlo tool for exploring variable dimension statistical models. Recently, however, an alternative approach based on birth-and-death processes has been proposed by Stephens for mixtures of distributions. We show that the birth-and-death setting can be generalized to include other types of continuous time jumps like split-and-combine moves in the spirit of Richardson and Green. We illustrate these…

通过可逆跳跃 MCMC 进行隐马尔可夫模型的贝叶斯推断AI 解读

Summary Hidden Markov models form an extension of mixture models which provides a flexible class of models exhibiting dependence and a possibly large degree of variability. We show how reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques can be used to estimate the parameters as well as the number of components of a hidden Markov model in a Bayesian framework. We employ a mixture of zero-mean normal distributions as our main example and apply this model to three sets of data…

一般隐马尔可夫模型极大似然估计量的渐近正态性AI 解读

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have during the last decade become a widespread tool for modeling sequences of dependent random variables. Inference for such models is usually based on the maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE), and consistency of the MLE for general HMMs was recently proved by Leroux. In this paper we show that under mild conditions the MLE is also asymptotically normal and prove that the observed information matrix is a consistent estimator of the Fisher…

Cox–Ingersoll–Ross 模型的参数估计AI 解读

The Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model is a diffusion process suitable for modeling the term structure of interest rates. In this paper, we consider estimation of the parameters of this process from observations at equidistant time points. We study two estimators based on conditional least squares as well as a one-step improvement of these, two weighted conditional least-squares estimators, and the maximum likelihood estimator. Asymptotic properties of the various estimators are…
