  • a confidence measure for vehicle tracking based on a generalization of Bayes estimation
    IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2010
    Co-Authors: Richard Altendorfer, Stephan Matzka
    Abstract:

    In safety-critical driver assistance systems such as automatic emergency braking that require the estimation of the vehicle's environment usually a measure of confidence or probability of existence for tracked objects is required. We review and assess existing approaches of obtaining such measures. We propose a new method of computing a probability of existence by relaxing the underlying assumption of a Bayes Estimator. The benefits of this approach compared to a standard Bayes Estimator are demonstrated and illustrated by experimental results.

  • Wavelet based empirical Bayes estimation for the uniform distribution
    Statistics & Probability Letters, 1997
    Co-Authors: Su-yun Huang
    Abstract:

    The theory of wavelets is a fast developing component in mathematics with great potential in statistical applications. In this work, we incorporate the wavelet tool into the method of empirical Bayes estimation. Asymptotic behavior of the wavelet based empirical Bayes Estimator is investigated. The kernel based Estimator studied by Nogami (1988) has convergence rate O(n-1/2). We show that the wavelet based empirical Bayes Estimator attains the rate O(n-2s/(2s+1)), where s [greater-or-equal, slanted] 1 is the regularity index of the marginal pdf fG. Derivatives considered here are distributional derivatives.

  • an example of an improvable rao blackwell improvement inefficient maximum likelihood Estimator and unbiased generalized Bayes Estimator
    The American Statistician, 2016
    Co-Authors: Tal Galili, Isaac Meilijson
    Abstract:

    The Rao–Blackwell theorem offers a procedure for converting a crude unbiased Estimator of a parameter θ into a “better” one, in fact unique and optimal if the improvement is based on a minimal sufficient statistic that is complete. In contrast, behind every minimal sufficient statistic that is not complete, there is an improvable Rao–Blackwell improvement. This is illustrated via a simple example based on the uniform distribution, in which a rather natural Rao–Blackwell improvement is uniformly improvable. Furthermore, in this example the maximum likelihood Estimator is inefficient, and an unbiased generalized Bayes Estimator performs exceptionally well. Counterexamples of this sort can be useful didactic tools for explaining the true nature of a methodology and possible consequences when some of the assumptions are violated.[Received December 2014. Revised September 2015.]
