Dual to the usual noisy channel coding problem, where a noisy (classical or quantum) channel is used to simulate a noiseless one, reverse Shannon theorems concern the use of noiseless channels to simulate noisy ones, and more generally the…

The spectral gap is estimated for measure-valued diffusion processes induced by the intrinsic/extrinsic derivatives on the space of finite measures over a Riemannian manifold. This provides explicit exponential convergence rate for these…

In this paper we propose the use of $\phi$-divergences as test statistics to verify simple hypotheses about a one-dimensional parametric diffusion process $\de X_t = b(X_t, \theta)\de t + \sigma(X_t, \theta)\de W_t$, from discrete…

We establish a general class of entropy inequalities that take the concise form of Gaussian comparisons. The main result unifies many classical and recent results, including the Shannon-Stam inequality, the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, the…

Consider the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) of estimating an arbitrary random variable from its observation contaminated by Gaussian noise. The MMSE can be regarded as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as well as a functional…

In this paper a new family of minimum divergence estimators based on the Bregman divergence is proposed. The popular density power divergence (DPD) class of estimators is a sub-class of Bregman divergences. We propose and study a new…
