  1. 1. Analyzing the Negative Log-Likelihood Loss in Generative Modeling

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Aleix Espuña I Fontcuberta; [2022]
    Keywords : Generative modeling; Normalizing flows; Generative Adversarial Networks; MaximumLikelihood Estimation; Real Non-Volume Preserving flow; Fréchet Inception Distance; Misspecification; Generativa metoder; Normalizing flows; Generative adversarial networks; Maximum likelihood-metoden; Real non-volume preserving flow; Fréchet inception distance; felspecificerade modeller;

    Abstract : Maximum-Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is a classic model-fitting method from probability theory. However, it has been argued repeatedly that MLE is inappropriate for synthesis applications, since its priorities are at odds with important principles of human perception, and that, e.g. READ MORE

    Abstract : Boreal forests are particularly vulnerable to climate change, experiencing a much more drastic increase in temperatures and having a limited amount of more northern refugia. The trees making up these vast and important ecosystems already had to adapt previously to environmental pressures brought about by the repeated glaciations during past ice ages. READ MORE

  4. 3. Estimation of satellite orbits using ground based radar concept

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Jonas Gabrielsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Today an abundance of objects are circulating in earth captured orbit. Monitoring these objects is of national security interest. One way to map any object in orbit is with their Keplerian elements. A method for estimating the Keplerian elements of a satellite orbit simulating a ground based radar station has been investigated.

  5. 4. Inverse Uncertainty Quantification using deterministic sampling : An intercomparison between different IUQ methods

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Hjalmar Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Inverse Uncertainty Quantification; Model calibration; Unscented transform; Deterministic sampling;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two novel methods for Inverse Uncertainty Quantification are benchmarked against the more established methods of Monte Carlo sampling of output parameters(MC) and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Inverse Uncertainty Quantification (IUQ) is the process of how to best estimate the values of the input parameters in a simulation, and the uncertainty of said estimation, given a measurement of the output parameters.

  6. 5. Analysis of an Ill-posed Problem of Estimating the Trend Derivative Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation and the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Muhammad Farhan Naeem; [2020]
    Keywords : carbon dioxide levels; Keeling Curve; Taylor and Fourier series; Maximum Likelihood Estimation; MLE; Cramér-Rao Lower Bound; CRLB;

    Abstract : The amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere has significantly increased in the last few decades as compared to the last 80,000 years approximately. The increase in carbon dioxide levels are affecting the temperature and therefore need to be understood better. READ MORE
