On metric divergences of probability measures

Igor Vajda (2009)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Standard properties of φ -divergences of probability measures are widely applied in various areas of information processing. Among the desirable supplementary properties facilitating employment of mathematical methods is the metricity of φ -divergences, or the metricity of their powers. This paper extends the previously known family of φ -divergences with these properties. The extension consists of a continuum of φ -divergences which are squared metric distances and which are mostly new...

Goodness-of-fit tests based on K φ -divergence

Teresa Pérez, Julio A. Pardo (2003)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper a new family of statistics based on K φ -divergence for testing goodness-of-fit under composite null hypotheses are considered. The asymptotic distribution of this test is obtained when the unspecified parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood as well as minimum K φ -divergence.
