R\'enyi entropy of order \alpha is a general measure of entropy. In this paper we derive estimations for the R\'enyi entropy of the mixture of sources in terms of the entropy of the single sources. These relations allow to compute the…

The main objective of this paper is to apply linear and pretest shrinkage estimation techniques to estimating the parameters of two 2-parameter Burr-XII distributions. Further more, predictions for future observations are made using both…
Most of the existing classification methods are aimed at minimization of empirical risk (through some simple point-based error measured with loss function) with added regularization. We propose to approach this problem in a more information…
This paper deals with order identification for nested models in the i.i.d. framework. We study the asymptotic efficiency of two generalized likelihood ratio tests of the order. They are based on two estimators which are proved to be…

Entropy-type integral functionals of densities are widely used in mathematical statistics, information theory, and computer science. Examples include measures of closeness between distributions (e.g., density power divergence) and…
Estimating entropies from limited data series is known to be a non-trivial task. Naive estimations are plagued with both systematic (bias) and statistical errors. Here, we present a new 'balanced estimator' for entropy functionals Shannon,…

This paper introduces "swiveled Renyi entropies" as an alternative to the Renyi entropic quantities put forward in [Berta et al., Phys. Rev. A 91, 022333 (2015)]. What distinguishes the swiveled Renyi entropies from the prior proposal of…
Our objective is to construct well-calibrated prediction sets for a time-to-event outcome subject to right-censoring with guaranteed coverage. Inspired by modern conformal inference, our approach avoids the need for a well-specified…
A new class of change point test statistics is proposed that utilizes a weighting and trimming scheme for the cumulative sum (CUSUM) process inspired by R\'enyi (1953). A thorough asymptotic analysis and simulations both demonstrate that…
In the present follow-up article of a previous one [1] we illustrate the use of the Unconventional Statistical Mechanics described and discussed in the latter. This is done via the analysis, resorting to Renyi approach, of experimental…
Distributions of abundances or frequencies play an important role in many fields of science, from biology to sociology, as does the R\'enyi entropy, which measures the diversity of a statistical ensemble. We derive a mathematical relation…
In the binary hypothesis testing problem, it is well known that sequentiality in taking samples eradicates the trade-off between two error exponents, yet implementing the optimal test requires the knowledge of the underlying distributions,…
The restricted polynomially-tilted pairwise interaction (RPPI) distribution gives a flexible model for compositional data. It is particularly well-suited to situations where some of the marginal distributions of the components of a…
We derive a strengthened monotonicity inequality for quantum relative entropy by employing properties of $\alpha$-R\'{e}nyi relative entropy. We develop a unifying treatment towards the improvement of some quantum entropy inequalities. In…
In this note, we provide analytic expressions for the R\'enyi common information of orders in $(1,\infty)$ for the doubly symmetric binary source (DSBS). Until now, analytic expressions for the R\'enyi common information of all orders in…
This paper investigates improved testing inferences under a general multivariate elliptical regression model. The model is very flexible in terms of the specification of the mean vector and the dispersion matrix, and of the choice of the…
