Canonical distributions and phase transitions

K.B. Athreya, J.D.H. Smith (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Entropy maximization subject to known expected values is extended to the case where the random variables involved may take on positive infinite values. As a result, an arbitrary probability distribution on a finite set may be realized as a canonical distribution. The Rényi entropy of the distribution arises as a natural by-product of this realization. Starting with the uniform distributionon a proper subset of a set, the canonical distribution of equilibriumstatistical mechanics may...

Maličky-Riečan's entropy as a version of operator entropy

Bartosz Frej (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The paper deals with the notion of entropy for doubly stochastic operators. It is shown that the entropy defined by Maličky and Riečan in [MR] is equal to the operator entropy proposed in [DF]. Moreover, some continuity properties of the [MR] entropy are established.

A general class of entropy statistics

María Dolores Esteban (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

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.
