Minimax Estimation of Discrete Distributions under Loss
Yanjun Han, Jiantao Jiao, Tsachy Weissman
We analyze the problem of discrete distribution estimation under loss. We provide non-asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the maximum risk of the empirical distribution (…
Beyond Maximum Likelihood: from Theory to Practice
Jiantao Jiao, Kartik Venkat, Yanjun Han +1
Maximum likelihood is the most widely used statistical estimation technique. Recent work by the authors introduced a general methodology for the construction of estimators for func…
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Functionals of Discrete Distributions
Jiantao Jiao, Kartik Venkat, Yanjun Han +1
We consider the problem of estimating functionals of discrete distributions, and focus on tight nonasymptotic analysis of the worst case squared error risk of widely used estimator…
Minimax Estimation of Functionals of Discrete Distributions
Jiantao Jiao, Kartik Venkat, Yanjun Han +1
We propose a general methodology for the construction and analysis of minimax estimators for a wide class of functionals of finite dimensional parameters, and elaborate on the case…
Performance Limits and Geometric Properties of Array Localization
Yanjun Han, Yuan Shen, Xiao-Ping Zhang +2
Location-aware networks are of great importance and interest in both civil and military applications. This paper determines the localization accuracy of an agent, which is equipped…
