• Authors: B. G. Palm, F. M. Bayer, R. J. Cintra
• Abstract summary: The Rayleigh regression model was recently proposed for modeling amplitude values of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image pixels. We introduce bias-adjusted estimators tailored for the Rayleigh regression model based on: (i) the Cox and Snell's method; (ii) the Firth's scheme; and (iii) the parametric bootstrap method.

• Abstract: The Rayleigh regression model was recently proposed for modeling amplitude values of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image pixels. However, inferences from such model are based on the maximum likelihood estimators, which can be biased for small signal lengths. The Rayleigh regression model for SAR images often takes into account small pixel windows, which may lead to inaccurate results. In this letter, we introduce bias-adjusted estimators tailored for the Rayleigh regression model based on: (i) the Cox and Snell's method; (ii) the Firth's scheme; and (iii) the parametric bootstrap method. We present numerical experiments considering synthetic and actual SAR data sets. The bias-adjusted estimators yield nearly unbiased estimates and accurate modeling results.

  In prediction of forest parameters with data from remote sensing, regression models have traditionally been trained on a small sample of ground reference data. This paper proposes to impute this sample of true prediction targets with data from an existing RS-based prediction map that we consider as pseudo-targets. We use prediction maps constructed from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data to provide accurate pseudo-targets and free data from Sentinel-1's C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) as regressors.

  We provide a novel characterization of augmented balancing weights, also known as automatic debiased machine learning (AutoDML) We show that the augmented estimator is equivalent to a single linear model with coefficients that combine the coefficients from the original outcome model and coefficients from an unpenalized ordinary least squares (OLS) fit on the same data. Our framework opens the black box on this increasingly popular class of estimators.

• Deep Equilibrium Optical Flow Estimation [80.80992684796566]
  Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) optical flow models use finite-step recurrent update operations to emulate traditional algorithms. These RNNs impose large computation and memory overheads, and are not directly trained to model such stable estimation. We propose deep equilibrium (DEQ) flow estimators, an approach that directly solves for the flow as the infinite-level fixed point of an implicit layer.

  We propose nonparametric Bayesian estimators for causal inference exploiting Regression Discontinuity/Kink (RD/RK) These estimators are extended to hierarchical GP models with an intermediate Bayesian neural network layer. Monte Carlo simulations show that our estimators perform similarly and often better than competing estimators in terms of precision, coverage and interval length.

  We present a differential equation that transforms a complex data distribution to a known prior distribution by injecting noise. A corresponding reverse-time SDE transforms the prior distribution back into the data distribution by slowly removing the noise. By leveraging advances in score-based generative modeling, we can accurately estimate these scores with neural networks. We demonstrate high fidelity generation of 1024 x 1024 images for the first time from a score-based generative model.

  We show that a measure of a model's training speed can be used to estimate its marginal likelihood. We verify our results in model selection tasks for linear models and for the infinite-width limit of deep neural networks. Our results suggest a promising new direction towards explaining why neural networks trained with gradient descent are biased towards functions that generalize well.
