PPT-Lecture 2: Parameter Estimation and Evaluation of Support

Likelihood Methods in Ecology Jan 30 Feb 3 2011 Rehovot Israel Parameter Estimation The problem of estimation is of more central importance than hypothesis testing for in almost all situations we know that the . This is useful only in the case where we know the precise model family and parameter values for the situation of interest But this is the exception not the rul e for both scienti64257c inquiry and human learning inference Most of the time we are in g Gaussian so only the parameters eg mean and variance need to be estimated Maximum Likelihood Bayesian Estimation Non parametric density estimation Assume NO knowledge about the density Kernel Density Estimation Nearest Neighbor Rule brPage 3br CSC What is the idea behind modeling real world phenomena Mathemat ically modeling an aspect of the real world enables us to better understand it and better explain it and perhaps enables us to reproduce it either on a large scale or on a simpli64257ed Refaat Arthur Choi Adnan Darwiche Computer Science Department University of California Los Angeles krefaataychoidarwiche csuclaedu Abstract We propose a technique for decomposing the parameter learning problem in Bayesian networks into independent l 14 . – .
