Conditional principles for random weighted measures

Nathael Gozlan (2005)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper, we prove a conditional principle of Gibbs type for random weighted measures of the form L n = 1 n ∑ i = 1 n Z i δ x i n , ( Z i ) i being a sequence of i.i.d. real random variables. Our work extends the preceding results of Gamboa and Gassiat (1997), in allowing to consider thin constraints. Transportation-like ideas are used in the proof.

A note on how Rényi entropy can create a spectrum of probabilistic merging operators

Martin Adamčík (2019)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we present a result that relates merging of closed convex sets of discrete probability functions respectively by the squared Euclidean distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence, using an inspiration from the Rényi entropy. While selecting the probability function with the highest Shannon entropy appears to be a convincingly justified way of representing a closed convex set of probability functions, the discussion on how to represent several closed convex sets of probability...
