A general class of entropy statistics

María Dolores Esteban — 1997

Applications of Mathematics

To study the asymptotic properties of entropy estimates, we use a unified expression, called the H h , v ϕ 1 , ϕ 2 -entropy. Asymptotic distributions for these statistics are given in several cases when maximum likelihood estimators are considered, so they can be used to construct confidence intervals and to test statistical hypotheses based on one or more samples. These results can also be applied to multinomial populations.

Order statistics and ( r , s ) -entropy measures

María Dolores EstebanDomingo MoralesLeandro PardoMaría Luisa Menéndez — 1994

Applications of Mathematics

K. M. Wong and S. Chen [9] analyzed the Shannon entropy of a sequence of random variables under order restrictions. Using ( r , s ) -entropies, I. J. Taneja [8], these results are generalized. Upper and lower bounds to the entropy reduction when the sequence is ordered and conditions under which they are achieved are derived. Theorems are presented showing the difference between the average entropy of the individual order statistics and the entropy of a member of the original independent identically distributed...

La entropía no aditiva de orden α y tipo β de un proceso puntual.

En esta comunicación se establece una medida de la entropía contenida en un proceso puntual mediante el concepto de entropía de orden α y tipo β introducida por Sharma and Mittal (1975); quedando, de este modo, generalizada la entropía de McFadden. Una vez que se estudian las propiedades relativas a la tasa de cambio de la Entropía, se demuestra que el proceso de Poisson es el de Entropía máxima dentro de la clase de los procesos puntuales estacionarios.

Sampling design variance estimation of small area estimators in the Spanish Labour Force survey.

The main goal of this paper is to investigate how to estimate sampling design variances of modelbased and model-assisted small area estimators in a complex survey sampling setup. For this purpose the Spanish Labour Force Survey is considered. Sample and aggregated data are taken from the Canary Islands in the second trimester of 2003 in order to obtain some small area estimators of ILO unemployment totals. Several problems arising from the application of standard small area estimation procedures...
