Popis: | The problem of estimating a probability density function (pdf) can easily be encountered in many areas of experimental physics (high energy, spectroscopy, etc.) and other fields. The standard procedure is to bin the space and approximate the pdf by the ratio between the number of events falling inside each bin over the total and normalized to the bin volume. In this paper we estimate the univariate pdf using an MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) where the inputs are based on the exponential model. The proposed method is very effective and estimated densities are too close to some theoretical pdfs. Our method has been integrated in the famous steepest descent algorithm for marginal score functions estimation where two linearly mixed sources were successfully separated |
