This paper focuses on a stochastic formulation of Bayesian attitude estimation on the special orthogonal group. In particular, an exponential probability density model for random matrices, referred to as the matrix Fisher distribution is…
In this paper we implement the holonomic gradient method to exactly compute the normalising constant of Bingham distributions. This idea is originally applied for general Fisher-Bingham distributions in Nakayama et al. (2011). In this paper…
Probability distributions in Stiefel manifold such as the von-Mises Fisher and Bingham distributions find diverse applications in signal processing and other applied sciences. Use of these statistical models in practice is complicated by…
This note presents a novel Bayesian attitude estimator with the matrix Fisher distribution on the special orthogonal group, which can smoothly accommodate both unit and non-unit vector measurements. The posterior attitude distribution is…
This paper is focused on probabilistic estimation for the attitude dynamics of a rigid body on the special orthogonal group. We select the matrix Fisher distribution to represent the uncertainties of attitude estimates and measurements in a…
We propose an accelerated version of the holonomic gradient descent and apply it to calculating the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of the Fisher-Bingham distribution on a $d$-dimensional sphere. We derive a Pfaffian system (an integrable…
In this paper, a new probability distribution, referred to as the matrix Fisher-Gaussian (MFG) distribution, is proposed on the nonlinear manifold $\mathrm{SO}(3)\times\mathbb{R}^n$. It is constructed by conditioning a (9+n)-variate…
When dealing with a parametric statistical model, a Riemannian manifold can naturally appear by endowing the parameter space with the Fisher information metric. The geometry induced on the parameters by this metric is then referred to as…
Estimating the 3DoF rotation from a single RGB image is an important yet challenging problem. Probabilistic rotation regression has raised more and more attention with the benefit of expressing uncertainty information along with the…
Orthonormal matrices play an important role in reduced-rank matrix approximations and the analysis of matrix-valued data. A matrix Bingham-von Mises-Fisher distribution is a probability distribution on the set of orthonormal matrices that…
The shortcomings of the traditional univariate distributions in the past greatly encouraged mathematical statisticians to develop new generalizations of distributions. The New Generalized Fisk distribution, a unique distribution presented…
Normalizing flows (NFs) provide a powerful tool to construct an expressive distribution by a sequence of trackable transformations of a base distribution and form a probabilistic model of underlying data. Rotation, as an important quantity…
A deep neural network is a hierarchical nonlinear model transforming input signals to output signals. Its input-output relation is considered to be stochastic, being described for a given input by a parameterized conditional probability…
Normal distribution manifolds play essential roles in the theory of information geometry, so do holonomy groups in classification of Riemannian manifolds. After some necessary preliminaries on information geometry and holonomy groups, it is…
We give a new algorithm to find local maximum and minimum of a holonomic function and apply it for the Fisher-Bingham integral on the sphere $S^n$, which is used in the directional statistics. The method utilizes the theory and algorithms…
Estimating the 3DoF rotation from a single RGB image is an important yet challenging problem. As a popular approach, probabilistic rotation modeling additionally carries prediction uncertainty information, compared to single-prediction…
It will not be an exaggeration to say that R A Fisher is the Albert Einstein of Statistics. He pioneered almost all the main branches of statistics, but it is not as well known that he opened the area of Directional Statistics with his 1953…
This paper addresses two interrelated problems of the nonlinear filtering mechanism and fast attitude filtering with the matrix Fisher distribution (MFD) on the special orthogonal group. By analyzing the distribution evolution along Bayes'…
We show that the Riemannian Gaussian distributions on symmetric spaces, introduced in recent years, are of standard random matrix type. We exploit this to compute analytically marginals of the probability density functions. This can be done…
We apply the holonomic gradient method introduced by Nakayama et al.(2011) to the evaluation of the exact distribution function of the largest root of a Wishart matrix, which involves a hypergeometric function 1F1 of a matrix argument.…
