We show that an information-theoretic relation called the de Bruijn-type identity can be reformulated in a physical context with probability currents. The time derivatives of relative entropies under the continuity equation are presented,…

This paper focuses on proving the equivalence between Stein's identity and de Bruijn's identity. Given some conditions, we prove that Stein's identity is equivalent to de Bruijn's identity. In addition, some extensions of de Bruijn's…

We discuss properties of the "beamsplitter addition" operation, which provides a non-standard scaled convolution of random variables supported on the non-negative integers. We give a simple expression for the action of beamsplitter addition…

A thermodynamic framework for asymptotic inference is developed in which sample size and parameter variance define a state space. Within this description, Shannon information plays the role of entropy, and an integrating factor organizes…
