Recent advances in the Optimal Transport theory allow to rewrite several known problems in a neat way, while providing a more general perspective. When dealing with mixture densities, or in general with intensities, such a framework naturally induces composite dissimilarities, together with corresponding Greedy Reduction and Refinement algorithms. In applications like target tracking in clutter, it is common to deal with the Mixture Reduction problem, since the optimal Bayesian recursion leads to a combinatorial explosion of hypotheses for the posterior distribution. Moreover, in the extended target case, more complex distributions are being considered to describe the features of an object, for instance the Gamma Gaussian inverse-Wishart density, which makes the reduction problem intrinsically more difficult. For the reasons above, having theoretically sound reduction algorithms results to be important for many practical problems. In this work, we will provide an optimal transport perspective to the Gamma Gaussian inverse-Wishart mixture reduction problem, together with algorithms which are suitable for real-time applications.

A Model Selection criterion for the Mixture Reduction problem based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence D'Ortenzio, Alessandro; Manes, Costanzo; Orguner, Umut (2022-01-01) In order to be properly addressed, many practical problems require an accurate stochastic characterization of the involved uncertainties. In this regard, a common approach is the use of mixtures of parametric densities which allow, in general, to arbitrarily approximate complex distributions by a sum of simpler elements. Nonetheless, in contexts like target tracking in clutter, where mixtures of densities are commonly used to approximate the posterior distribution, the optimal Bayesian recursion leads to a ...
A new multimodal and asymmetric bivariate circular distribution Hassanzadeh, Fatemeh; Kalaylioglu, Zeynep (2018-09-01) Multimodal and asymmetric bivariate circular data arise in several different disciplines and fitting appropriate distribution plays an important role in the analysis of such data. In this paper, we propose a new bivariate circular distribution which can be used to model both asymmetric and multimodal bivariate circular data simultaneously. In fact the proposed density covers unimodality as well as multimodality, symmetry as well as asymmetry of circular bivariate data. A number of properties of the proposed...
An evolutionary algorithm for multiple criteria problems Soylu, Banu; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007) In this thesis, we develop an evolutionary algorithm for approximating the Pareto frontier of multi-objective continuous and combinatorial optimization problems. The algorithm tries to evolve the population of solutions towards the Pareto frontier and distribute it over the frontier in order to maintain a well-spread representation. The fitness score of each solution is computed with a Tchebycheff distance function and non-dominating sorting approach. Each solution chooses its own favorable weights accordin...
A verification approach for dynamics of metamodel based conceptual models of the mission space Eryılmaz, Utkan; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2011) Conceptual models were introduced in the simulation world in order to describe the problem domain in detail before any implementation is attempted. One of the recent approaches for conceptual modeling of the military mission space is the KAMA approach which provides a process description, a UML based notation, and a supporting tool for developing conceptual models. The prominence of the approach stems from availability of guidance and applications in real life case studies. Although the credibility of a con...
On the generalized multivariate Gumbel distribution Demirhan, Haydar; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl (2015-08-01) In this article, main characteristics, marginal, joint, and conditional inferences of a generalized multivariate Gumbel model are derived, and random vector generation is described. Distribution of the sum where summands come from a bivariate generalized multivariate Gumbel distribution is derived.
