Quantum information measures such as the entropy and the mutual information find applications in physics, e.g., as correlation measures. Generalizing such measures based on the R\'enyi entropies is expected to enhance their scope in…
The matrix-based R\'enyi's entropy allows us to directly quantify information measures from given data, without explicit estimation of the underlying probability distribution. This intriguing property makes it widely applied in statistical…
Many axiomatic definitions of entropy, such as the R\'enyi entropy, of a random variable are closely related to the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm of its probability distribution. This study considers probability distributions on finite sets, and…
The R\'enyi information measures are characterized in terms of their Shannon counterparts, and properties of the former are recovered from first principle via the associated properties of the latter. Motivated by this characterization, a…

A hybrid censoring scheme is a mixture of Type-I and Type-II censoring schemes. We study the estimation of parameters of weighted exponential distribution based on Type-II hybrid censored data. By applying EM algorithm, maximum likelihood…
We introduce a variant of the R\'enyi entropy definition that aligns it with the well-known H\"older mean: in the new formulation, the r-th order R\'enyi Entropy is the logarithm of the inverse of the r-th order H\"older mean. This brings…
Ranked set sampling is a sampling design which has a wide range of applications in industrial statistics, and environmental and ecological studies, etc.. It is well known that ranked set samples provide more Fisher information than simple…
We compute R\'enyi entropies for the statistics of a noisy simultaneous observation of two complementary observables in two-dimensional quantum systems. The relative amount of uncertainty between two states depends on the uncertainty…
Progressive censoring scheme has received considerable attention in recent years. In this paper we introduce a new type-II progressive censoring scheme for two samples. It is observed that the proposed censoring scheme is analytically more…
This paper considers an information bottleneck problem with the objective of obtaining a most informative representation of a hidden feature subject to a R\'enyi entropy complexity constraint. The optimal bottleneck trade-off between…
Inferential challenges that arise when data are censored have been extensively studied under the classical frameworks. In this paper, we provide an alternative generalized inferential model approach whose output is a data-dependent…
The weak law of large numbers implies that, under mild assumptions on the source, the Renyi entropy per produced symbol converges (in probability) towards the Shannon entropy rate. This paper quantifies the speed of this convergence for…
In this paper, a competing risks model is analyzed based on improved adaptive type-II progressive censored sample (IAT-II PCS). Two independent competing causes of failures are considered. It is assumed that lifetimes of the competing…
