Entropic Projections and Dominating Points

Christian Léonard (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Entropic projections and dominating points are solutions to convex minimization problems related to conditional laws of large numbers. They appear in many areas of applied mathematics such as statistical physics, information theory, mathematical statistics, ill-posed inverse problems or large deviation theory. By means of convex conjugate duality and functional analysis, criteria are derived for the existence of entropic projections, generalized entropic projections and dominating...

Large deviations for independent random variables – Application to Erdös-Renyi’s functional law of large numbers

Jamal Najim (2005)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

A Large Deviation Principle (LDP) is proved for the family 1 n 1 n 𝐟 ( x i n ) · Z i n where the deterministic probability measure 1 n 1 n δ x i n converges weakly to a probability measure R and ( Z i n ) i are d -valued independent random variables whose distribution depends on x i n and satisfies the following exponential moments condition: sup i , n 𝔼 e α * | Z i n | < + forsome 0 < α * < + . In this context, the identification of the rate function is non-trivial due to the absence of equidistribution. We rely on fine convex analysis to address this issue. Among...
