Density Ratio Estimation with Doubly Strong Robustness
Ryosuke Nagumo · Hironori Fujisawa
We develop two density ratio estimation (DRE) methods with robustness to outliers. These are based on the divergence with a weight function to weaken the adverse effects of outliers. One is based on the extended Kullback-Leibler divergence, called Weighted DRE, and its optimization is a convex problem. The other is based on the γ-divergence, called γ-DRE, which improves a normalizing term problem of Weighted DRE. Its optimization is a DC (Difference of Convex functions) problem and needs more computation than a convex problem. These methods have doubly strong robustness, which means robustness to the heavy contamination of both the reference and target distributions. Numerical experiments show that our proposals are more robust than the previous methods.
