若干弱可识别有限混合模型的参数估计收敛速率AI 解读

We establish minimax lower bounds and maximum likelihood convergence rates of parameter estimation for mean-covariance multivariate Gaussian mixtures, shape-rate Gamma mixtures and some variants of finite mixture models, including the setting where the number of mixing components is bounded but unknown. These models belong to what we call “weakly identifiable” classes, which exhibit specific interactions among mixing parameters driven by the algebraic structures of the class…

有限与无限混合模型中潜在混合测度的收敛AI 解读

This paper studies convergence behavior of latent mixing measures that arise in finite and infinite mixture models, using transportation distances (i.e., Wasserstein metrics). The relationship between Wasserstein distances on the space of mixing measures and $f$-divergence functionals such as Hellinger and Kullback–Leibler distances on the space of mixture distributions is investigated in detail using various identifiability conditions. Convergence in Wasserstein metrics for…

替代损失函数与 f 散度AI 解读

The goal of binary classification is to estimate a discriminant function γ from observations of covariate vectors and corresponding binary labels. We consider an elaboration of this problem in which the covariates are not available directly but are transformed by a dimensionality-reducing quantizer Q. We present conditions on loss functions such that empirical risk minimization yields Bayes consistency when both the discriminant function and the quantizer are estimated.…
