A quasi-Newton acceleration for high-dimensional optimization algorithms
Abstract In many statistical problems, maximum likelihood estimation by an EM or MM algorithm suffers from excruciatingly slow convergence. This tendency limits the application of ...

Fast evaluation of modular functions using Newton iterations and the AGM
We present an asymptotically fast algorithm for the numerical evaluation of modular functions such as the elliptic modular function j. Our algorithm makes use of the natural connec...

A Finite Element Method for Density Estimation with Gaussian Process Priors
Abstract. A variational problem characterizing the density estimator defined by the maximum a posteriori method with Gaussian process priors is derived. It is shown that this probl...
