Shannon entropy is widely used to quantify the uncertainty of discrete random variables. But when normalized to the unit interval, as is often done in practice, it no longer conveys the alphabet sizes of the random variables being studied.…
The Tsallis entropy given for a positive parameter $\alpha$ can be considered as a modification of the classical Shannon entropy. For the latter, corresponding to $\alpha=1$, there exist many axiomatic characterizations. One of them based…
Convergence rate estimates in limit theorems for sums of independent random variables are considered.
The nonextensive statistical ensembles are revisited for the complex systems with long-range interactions and long-range correlations. An approximation, the value of nonextensive parameter (1-q) is assumed to be very tiny, is adopted for…
We study the properties of Tsallis entropy and Shannon entropy from the point of view of algorithmic randomness. In algorithmic information theory, there are two equivalent ways to define the program-size complexity K(s) of a given finite…
In this paper, we consider the information content of maximum ranked set sampling procedure with unequal samples (MRSSU) in terms of Tsallis entropy which is a nonadditive generalization of Shannon entropy. We obtain several results of…
In this study, the cumulative effect of the empirical probability distribution of a random variable is identified as a factor that amplifies the occurrence of extreme events in datasets. To quantify this observation, a corresponding…
The Adaptive Multilevel Splitting algorithm is a very powerful and versatile iterative method to estimate the probability of rare events, based on an interacting particle systems. In an other article, in a so-called idealized setting, the…
This article proposes a new two-parameter generalized entropy, which can be reduced to the Tsallis and the Shannon entropy for specific values of its parameters. We develop a number of information-theoretic properties of this generalized…
We propose an iterative estimating equations procedure for analysis of longitudinal data. We show that, under very mild conditions, the probability that the procedure converges at an exponential rate tends to one as the sample size…
This paper concerns the estimation of sums of functions of observable and unobservable variables. Lower bounds for the asymptotic variance and a convolution theorem are derived in general finite- and infinite-dimensional models. An explicit…
Estimation of Shannon and R\'enyi entropies of unknown discrete distributions is a fundamental problem in statistical property testing and an active research topic in both theoretical computer science and information theory. Tight bounds on…
We introduce unbiased estimators for the Shannon entropy and the class number, in the situation that we are able to take sequences of independent samples of arbitrary length.
We consider two types of entropy, namely, Shannon and R\'{e}nyi entropies of the Poisson distribution, and establish their properties as the functions of intensity parameter. More precisely, we prove that both entropies increase with…
Tsallis' non-extensive entropy $S_q$ enables us to treat both a power and exponential evolutions of underlying microscopic dynamics on equal footing by adjusting the variable entropic index $q$ to proper one $q^*$. We propose an alternative…
Shannon and Renyi entropies are quantitative measures of uncertainty in a data set. They are developed by Renyi in the context of entropy theory. These measures have been studied in the case of the multivariate t-distributions. We extend…
The aim of the paper is to study the link between non additivity of some entropies and their boundedness. We propose an axiomatic construction of the entropy relying on the fact that entropy belongs to a group isomorphic to the usual…
A general method is presented for deriving the limiting behavior of estimators that are defined as the values of parameters optimizing an empirical criterion function. The asymptotic behavior of such estimators is typically deduced from…
In this short note a method for computing the naive plugin estimator of discrete entropy from a counting Bloom filter will be presented. The method does work reasonably as long as the collision probability in the bloom filter is kept low.
Entanglement criteria for an $n$-partite quantum system with continuous variables are formulated in terms of R\'{e}nyi entropies. R\'{e}nyi entropies are widely used as a good information measure due to many nice properties. Derived…
