This work constructs a hypothesis test for detecting whether an data-generating function h:Rp→R belongs to a specific reproducing kernel Hilbert space H0 , where the structure of H0 is only partially known. Utilizing the theory of reproducing kernels, we reduce this hypothesis …
Discovering cause-effect relationships between variables from observational data is a fundamental challenge in many scientific disciplines. However, in many situations it is desirable to directly estimate the change in causal relationships across two different conditions, e.g., estimating the change in genetic expressi…
Online DEM improves tracking of latent states in dynamic systems.
problem Tracking latent states in dynamic systems with online updates.
method Specializes DEM for online data assimilation, separating temporal scales.
result ODEM can track latent states of a non-linear generative model.
The likelihood function of a finite mixture model is a non-convex function with multiple local maxima and commonly used iterative algorithms such as EM will converge to different solutions depending on initial conditions. In this paper we ask: is it possible to assess how far we are from the global maximum of the likel…
