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.

Joint Range of Rényi entropies

Peter Harremoës (2009)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The exact range of the joined values of several Rényi entropies is determined. The method is based on topology with special emphasis on the orientation of the objects studied. Like in the case when only two orders of the Rényi entropies are studied, one can parametrize the boundary of the range. An explicit formula for a tight upper or lower bound for one order of entropy in terms of another order of entropy cannot be given.
