In Part I, we have proved characterization theorems for entropy-like functionals , , , and restricted to the class consisting of all finite spaces , the class of all semimetric spaces equipped with a bounded measure. These theorems are now extended to the case of , and defined on the whole of , and of and restricted to a certain fairly wide subclass of .
The notion of cumulative past inaccuracy (CPI) measure has recently been proposed in the literature as a generalization of cumulative past entropy (CPE) in univariate as well as bivariate setup. In this paper, we introduce the notion of CPI of order and study the proposed measure for conditionally specified models of two components failed at different time instants, called generalized conditional CPI (GCCPI). Several properties, including the effect of monotone transformation and bounds of GCCPI...
The aim of this review is to give different two-parametric generalizations of the following measures: directed divergence (Kullback and Leibler, 1951), Jensen difference divergence (Burbea and Rao 1982 a,b; Rao, 1982) and Jeffreys invariant divergence (Jeffreys, 1946). These generalizations are put in the unified expression and their properties are studied. The applications of generalized information and divergence measures to comparison of experiments and the connections with Fisher information...
Kullback's relative information and Kerridge's inaccuracy are two information-theoretic measures associated with a pair of probability distributions of a discrete random variable. The authors study a generalized measure which in particular contains a parametric generalization of relative information and inaccuracy. Some important properties of this generalized measure along with an inversion theorem are also studied.
We have been investigating the cryptographical properties of in nite families of simple graphs of large girth with the special colouring of vertices during the last 10 years. Such families can be used for the development of cryptographical algorithms (on symmetric or public key modes) and turbocodes in error correction theory. Only few families of simple graphs of large unbounded girth and arbitrarily large degree are known. The paper is devoted to the more general theory of directed graphs of large...
This work studies the standard exponential families of probability measures on Euclidean spaces that have finite supports. In such a family parameterized by means, the mean is supposed to move along a segment inside the convex support towards an endpoint on the boundary of the support. Limit behavior of several quantities related to the exponential family is described explicitly. In particular, the variance functions and information divergences are studied around the boundary.
