Kopitzki et al (preceeding comment) claim that the relationship between Renormalized and Kullback-Leibler entropies has already been given in their previous papers. Moreover, they argue that the first can give more useful information for…
Invasive electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings of ten patients suffering from focal epilepsy were analyzed using the method of renormalized entropy. Introduced as a complexity measure for the different regimes of a dynamical system, the…
The entropy of an ergodic source is the limit of properly rescaled 1-block entropies of sources obtained applying successive non-sequential recursive pairs substitutions (see P. Grassberger 2002 ArXiv:physics/0207023 and D. Benedetto, E.…
In the context of averaging an inhomogeneous cosmological model, we propose a natural measure identical to the Kullback-Leibler relative information entropy, which expresses the distinguishability of the local inhomogeneous density field…
We introduce the notion of relative volume entropy for two spacetimes with preferred compact spacelike foliations. This is accomplished by applying the notion of Kullback-Leibler divergence to the volume elements induced on spacelike…
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects normal neural activity. These electrical activities can be recorded as signals containing information about the brain known as Electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Analysis of the EEG…
Time irreversibility (temporal asymmetry) is one of fundamental properties that characterize the nonlinearity of complex dynamical processes, and our brain is a typical complex dynamical system manifested with nonlinearity. Two…
The Kullback-Leibler divergence or relative entropy is an information-theoretic measure between statistical models that play an important role in measuring a distance between random variables. In the study of complex systems, random fields…
This paper proposes a versatile covariate adjustment method that directly incorporates covariate balance in regression discontinuity (RD) designs. The new empirical entropy balancing method reweights the standard local polynomial RD…
We prove characterization theorems for relative entropy (also known as Kullback-Leibler divergence), q-logarithmic entropy (also known as Tsallis entropy), and q-logarithmic relative entropy. All three have been characterized axiomatically…
The entropy is one of the most applicable uncertainty measures in many statistical and en- gineering problems. In statistical literature, the entropy is used in calculation of the Kullback- Leibler (KL) information which is a powerful mean…
Wide conditions are provided to guarantee asymptotic unbiasedness and L^2-consistency of the introduced estimates of the Kullback-Leibler divergence for probability measures in R^d having densities w.r.t. the Lebesgue measure. These…
Here, we propose a new tool to estimate the complexity of a time series: the entropy of difference (ED). The method is based solely on the sign of the difference between neighboring values in a time series. This makes it possible to…
A classic definition of multisensory integration (MI) has been proposed as ``the presence of a (statistically) significant change in the response to a cross-modal stimulus complex compared to unimodal stimuli''. However, this general…
We investigate the analogy between the renormalization group (RG) and deep neural networks, wherein subsequent layers of neurons are analogous to successive steps along the RG. In particular, we quantify the flow of information by…
This paper is concerned with non-parametric estimation of the entropy in ranked set sampling. Theoretical properties of the proposed estimator are studied. The proposed estimator is compared with the rival estimator in simple random…
With the high-precision data from current and upcoming experiments, it becomes increasingly important to perform consistency tests of the standard cosmological model. In this work, we focus on consistency measures between different data…
This archiving article consists of several short reports on the discussions between the two authors over the past two years at Oxford and Madrid, and their work carried out during that period on the upper bound of the Kullback-Leibler…
In this paper we derive an integral (with respect to time) representation of the relative entropy (or Kullback-Leibler Divergence) between measures mu and P on the space of continuous functions from time 0 to T. The underlying measure P is…
In nonlinear dynamics, and to a lesser extent in other fields, a widely used measure of complexity is the Permutation Entropy. But there is still no known method to determine the accuracy of this measure. There has been little research on…
