Fréchet平均的等变估计

Equivariant Estimation of Fréchet Means

Andrew McCormack, Peter Hoff

摘要:

Fréchet平均将平均的概念推广到度量空间设置。在这项工作中,我们考虑等变估计的Fréchet平均参数模型的度量空间是黎曼流形。这种空间的几何和对称性由它的等距群编码。等距群下的等变估计量考虑了度量空间的对称性。对于某些模型,存在一个最优的同变估计量,它必然会表现得与其他常见的同变估计量一样好或更好,例如最大似然估计量或样本Fréchet均值。我们推导出这种最小风险同变估计的一般形式,并在少数情况下提供了明确的expressions.In其他模型的等距组是不是足够大的相对于分布的参数族存在一个最小风险同变估计。在这种情况下,我们引入了一个自适应等变估计,使用的数据来选择一个子模型,有一个MRE。仿真结果表明,自适应同变估计性能优于其他估计。

英文摘要:

The Fréchet mean generalizes the concept of a mean to a metric space setting. In this work we consider equivariant estimation of Fréchet means for parametric models on metric spaces that are Riemannian manifolds. The geometry and symmetry of such a space is encoded by its isometry group. Estimators that are equivariant under the isometry group take into account the symmetry of the metric space. For some models there exists an optimal equivariant estimator, which necessarily will perform as well or better than other common equivariant estimators, such as the maximum likelihood estimator or the sample Fréchet mean. We derive the general form of this minimum risk equivariant estimator and in a few cases provide explicit expressions for it. In other models the isometry group is not large enough relative to the parametric family of distributions for there to exist a minimum risk equivariant estimator. In such cases, we introduce an adaptive equivariant estimator that uses the data to select a submodel for which there is an MRE. Simulations results show that the adaptive equivariant estimator performs favorably relative to alternative estimators.
