Abstract

We present a simple and direct method for non-parametric estimation of a one-dimensional probability density, based on the application of the recent conjugate variables theorem. The method expands the logarithm of the probability density ln P(x|I) in terms of a complete basis and numerically solves for the coefficients of the expansion using a linear system of equations. No Monte Carlo sampling is needed. We present preliminary results that show the practical usefulness of the method for modeling statistical data.
