Title: Reconstruction of Distributions via Moments

Speaker: Robert Mnatsakanov, Department of Statistics, West Virginia University

Abstract:

The problem of recovering an unknown cumulative distribution function F and its density function f from its moments will be discussed. Under the mild conditions on the target distribution F the rate of approximations for proposed constructions are derived. The extension of the results to the multivariate Hausdorff moment problem will be presented as well. Several indirect models, e.g., the mixtures and the image reconstruction from its projections will be considered. In particular, the approximation rate of a new Radon inversion is obtained. Finally, the comparison of theoretical and approximated curves will be illustrated via the simulations.

Time: Friday, February 12, 2010, 4:00-5:00 pm

Location: Monroe Hall, Room 113 (2115 G Street, NW, Washington, DC 20052)
