LogNormalLevenbergMarquardtKDEEstimator (ELKI: Environment for DeveLoping KDD-Applications Supported by Index-Structures)

java.lang.Object
- elki.math.statistics.distribution.estimator.LogNormalLevenbergMarquardtKDEEstimator

All Implemented Interfaces:

DistributionEstimator<LogNormalDistribution>
```
public class LogNormalLevenbergMarquardtKDEEstimator
extends java.lang.Object
implements DistributionEstimator<LogNormalDistribution>
```
Distribution parameter estimation using Levenberg-Marquardt iterative optimization and a kernel density estimation.
Note: this estimator is rather expensive, and needs optimization in the KDE phase, which currently is O(n²)!
This estimator is primarily attractive when only part of the distribution was observed.

Since:

0.6.0
