Deriving Lehmer and H\"older means as maximum weighted likelihood estimates for the multivariate exponential family
–arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence
Consider numerical observations; it is common to calculate their mean and refer to it as central tendency. There are, however, different measures of mean [4]. These measurements are sometimes grouped into families, like Lehmer and Hölder. Distinguishing these measures and better understanding their use involves identifying the link between them and probability density functions (PDFs). For example, the arithmetic mean is the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the position parameter for the normal PDF and the scale parameter for the exponential PDF. For the families of Lehmer and Hölder means, such an interpretation has only recently been proposed for the case of PDFs in the case of the univariate exponential family Let's consider digital observations; it is often common to calculate their mean and designate it as a central tendency. However, there are various measures of the average [2]. These measures are sometimes grouped into families, such as Lehmer and Hölder.
