Researchers explore efficient parameter estimation for truncated Boolean product distributions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for estimating parameters of truncated Boolean product distributions, a problem previously unaddressed in discrete settings. The approach relies on a concept of 'fatness' for the truncation set, which determines if enough information is revealed to perform statistical tasks. This work demonstrates that if the truncation set is sufficiently fat and accessible via queries, standard statistical tasks can be efficiently performed with only a slight increase in sample complexity.

    Efficient Parameter Estimation of Truncated Boolean Product Distributions

    arXiv:2007.02392v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of estimating the parameters of a Boolean product distribution in $d$ dimensions, when the samples are truncated by a set $S \subset \{0, 1\}^d$ accessible through a membership oracle. This is the firs…
