单位超球面上球面正态分布的参数估计与模型聚类

Parameter Estimation and Model-Based Clustering with Spherical Normal Distribution on the Unit Hypersphere

Kisung You

摘要:

在方向统计中,冯·米塞斯-费舍尔(vMF)分布是单位超球面上数据的最基本和最流行的概率分布之一。最近,球面正态分布(SN)被提出作为vMF分布的内在对应物,通过用大圆距离代替标准欧几里得范数,大圆距离是连接单位球面上两点的最短路径。我们提出了数值方法的参数估计,因为没有可用的解析公式。我们认为,在一般情况下,非负的权重分配给观察的估计问题。这导致了一个更有趣的贡献,基于模型的聚类的单位超球有限混合模型与SN分布。我们使用模拟和真实数据实例验证了基于优化的估计过程的效率和SN混合模型的有效性。

英文摘要:

In directional statistics, the von Mises-Fisher (vMF) distribution is one of the most basic and popular probability distributions for data on the unit hypersphere. Recently, the spherical normal (SN) distribution was proposed as an intrinsic counterpart to the vMF distribution by replacing the standard Euclidean norm with the great-circle distance, which is the shortest path joining two points on the unit sphere. We propose numerical approaches for parameter estimation since there are no analytic formula available. We consider the estimation problems in a general setting where non-negative weights are assigned to observations. This leads to a more interesting contribution for model-based clustering on the unit hypersphere by finite mixture model with SN distributions. We validate efficiency of optimization-based estimation procedures and effectiveness of SN mixture model using simulated and real data examples.
