Statistical Inference Using Mean Shift Denoising
In this paper, we study how the mean shift algorithm can be used to denoise a dataset. We introduce a new framework to analyze the mean shift algorithm as a denoising approach by viewing the algorithm as an operator on a distribution function. We investigate how the mean shift algorithm changes the distribution and show that data points shifted by the mean shift concentrate around high density regions of the underlying density function. By using the mean shift as a denoising method, we enhance the performance of several clustering techniques, improve the power of two-sample tests, and obtain a new method for anomaly detection.

Risk Estimation Without Using Stein's Lemma -- Application to Image Denoising
We address the problem of image denoising in additive white noise without placing restrictive assumptions on its statistical distribution. In the recent literature, specific noise distributions have been considered and c…

A natural way to characterize the cluster structure of a dataset is by finding regions containing a high density of data. This can be done in a nonparametric way with a kernel density estimate, whose modes and hence clus…
