We construct an explicit distribution $\mathbf{D}$ over $\{0,1\}^N$ that exhibits an essentially optimal separation between adaptive and non-adaptive cell-probe sampling. The distribution can be sampled exactly when each output bit is…

Non-malleable secret sharing was recently proposed by Goyal and Kumar in independent tampering and joint tampering models for threshold secret sharing (STOC18) and secret sharing with general access structure (CRYPTO18). The idea of making…

A new framework is introduced for examining and evaluating the fundamental limits of lossless data compression, that emphasizes genuinely non-asymptotic results. The {\em sample complexity} of compressing a given source is defined as the…

Blind methods often separate or identify signals or signal subspaces up to an unknown scaling factor. Sometimes it is necessary to cope with the scaling ambiguity, which can be done through reconstructing signals as they are received by…

In this paper, we consider a class of multiterminal source coding problems, each subject to distortion constraints computed using a specific, entropy-based, distortion measure. We provide the achievable rate distortion region for two cases…

We show that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is an effective tool for mitigating non-flow effects in flow analysis. To this end, one constructs two toy models that simulate non-flow contributions corresponding to particle decay and…

We evaluate entropy production in a photovoltaic cell that is modeled by four electronic levels resonantly coupled to thermally populated field modes at different temperatures. We use a formalism recently proposed, the so-called multiple…

We formalize notions of robustness for composite estimators via the notion of a breakdown point. A composite estimator successively applies two (or more) estimators: on data decomposed into disjoint parts, it applies the first estimator on…

In a recent work, Gryaznov, Pudl\'{a}k, and Talebanfard (CCC' 22) introduced a stronger version of affine extractors known as directional affine extractors, together with a generalization of $\mathsf{ROBP}$s where each node can make linear…

Mixture distributions arise in many parametric and non-parametric settings -- for example, in Gaussian mixture models and in non-parametric estimation. It is often necessary to compute the entropy of a mixture, but, in most cases, this…

In this note we prove the dual representation formula of the divergence between two distributions in a parametric model. Resulting estimators for the divergence as for the parameter are derived. These estimators do not make use of any…

The min-entropy is a widely used metric to quantify the randomness of generated random numbers in cryptographic applications; it measures the difficulty of guessing the most likely output. An important min-entropy estimator is the…

Entropies must correspond to mean values for them to be measurable. The Shannon entropy corresponds to the weighted arithmetic mean, whereas the Renyi entropy corresponds to the exponential mean. These means refer to code lengths, which are…

The first- and second-order optimum achievable exponents in the simple hypothesis testing problem are investigated. The optimum achievable exponent for type II error probability, under the constraint that the type I error probability is…

In this article, the estimation of reliability of a system is discussed $p(y<x)$ when strength, $X$, and stress, $Y$, are two independent exponential distribution with different scale parameters when the available data are type II Censored…

We consider a bound on the bias reduction of a random number generator by processing based on binary linear codes. We introduce a new bound on the total variation distance of the processed output based on the weight distribution of the code…

In the paper, we introduce the maximum entropy estimator based on 2-dimensional empirical distribution of the observation sequence of hidden Markov model , when the sample size is big: in that case computing the maximum likelihood estimator…

Min-entropy sampling gives a bound on the min-entropy of a randomly chosen subset of a string, given a bound on the min-entropy of the whole string. K\"onig and Renner showed a min-entropy sampling theorem that holds relative to quantum…

In this article a classification of some proposed macroscopic entropy production (MEP) principles is given. With the help of simple electrical network models, at least six interesting and most used principles are distinguished: the least…

For the canonical two-state model of transcription, we derive exact analytic expressions for the entropy production rate of transcription at steady state, and assess detailed balance breaking in transcription. Our analytics allow us to…
