In this work, a novel probability distribution is proposed to model sparse directional data. The Directional Laplacian Distribution (DLD) is a hybrid between the linear Laplacian d...
We propose a simulation-based method for calculating maximum likelihood estimators in latent variable models. The proposed method integrates a recently developed sampling strategy...
We formulate a model for probability distributions on image spaces. We show that any distribution of images can be factored exactly into conditional distributions of feature vecto...
Abstract--This paper studies a family of distributions constructed from multivariate gamma distributions to model the statistical properties of multisensor synthetic aperture radar...
Abstract--Sensor localization using channel energy measurements of distributed sensors has been studied in various scenarios. However, it is usually assumed that the target does no...
