What is the Fisher information matrix of the von Mises-Fisher distribution?
Assuming the von Mises-Fisher distribution as
$$f_{p}(\mathbf{x}; \boldsymbol{\mu}, \kappa) = C_{p}(\kappa) \exp \left( {\kappa \boldsymbol{\mu}^\mathsf{T} \mathbf{x} } \right),$$
where $\kappa \ge 0$,...

Equivalence of minimizing trace and determinant over matrix quadratic form in multivariate regression
Consider the multivariate regression model
$$Y = XB + E$$
where $Y$ is $n \times p$ and corresponds to the dependent variables, $X$ is $n \times k$ and corresponds to the independent variables, $B$ is ...

Is the Kalman Filter computationally optimal for Kalman filtering?
Kalman filtering is known to be a recursive process that minimizes mean square error in linear problems.
My question is: has anybody shown that this algorithm is computationally optimal, i.e. that you ...

The optimality of Kalman filtering
It is known that the Kalman filter estimates the state of the following system recursively.
$$x_{k+1}=Ax_k+w_k, \ \ w_k \sim \mathcal{N}(0,Q)$$
$$y_k=Cx_k+v_k, \ \ v_k \sim \mathcal{N}(0,W)$$
In the ...

How to find moment condition for generalized method of moments?
Consider a scalar system with $2K$ outputs and $K+2$ unknowns:
$y_{k,1}=x_ka_1+n_{k,1} \quad y_{k,2}=x_ka_2+n_{k,1}$.
The variables $n_{k,\ell}$ are zero mean noise variables.
To estimate $a_1$ and $...

Distribution of a signal covariance matrix
A common estimation problem in signal processing assumes the following signal model
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{r} = \sum_{i=1}^{Q}\alpha_i\mathbf{s}\left(w_i\right)+\mathbf{n}
\end{equation}
where $\...
