In information theory, it is of recent interest to study variability of the uncertainty measures. In this regard, the concept of varentropy has been introduced and studied by several authors in recent past. In this communication, we study…

In Reliability Theory, uncertainty is measured by the Shannon entropy. Recently, in order to analyze the variability of such measure, varentropy has been introduced and studied. In this paper we define a new concept of varentropy for past…

Recently, Extropy was introduced by Lad, Sanfilippo and Agr\`o as a complement dual of Shannon Entropy. In this paper, we propose dynamic versions of Extropy for doubly truncated random variables as measures of uncertainty called Interval…

In this paper, we investigate several properties of the weighted varextropy measure and obtain it for specific distribution functions, such as the equilibrium and weighted distributions. We also obtain bounds for the weighted varextropy, as…

Extropy was introduced as a dual complement of the Shannon entropy. In this investigation, we consider failure extropy and its dynamic version. Various basic properties of these measures are presented. It is shown that the dynamic failure…

We propose a general approach to construct weighted likelihood estimating equations with the aim of obtaining robust parameter estimates. We modify the standard likelihood equations by incorporating a weight that reflects the statistical…

Variational inference is a general approach for approximating complex density functions, such as those arising in latent variable models, popular in machine learning. It has been applied to approximate the maximum likelihood estimator and…

Measure of the weighted cumulative entropy about the predictability of failure time of a system have been introduced in [3]. Referring properties of doubly truncated (interval) cumulative residual and past entropy, several bounds and…

Balancing weights have been widely applied to single or monotone missingness due to empirical advantages over likelihood-based methods and inverse probability weighting approaches. This paper considers non-monotone missing data under the…

We consider a "length-biased" shift-dependent information measure, related to the differential entropy in which higher weight is assigned to large values of observed random variables. This allows us to introduce the notions of "weighted…

We present a coupled Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) method that improves the accuracy and robustness of the probabilistic inferences on represented data. The new method models the dependency between input feature vectors (images) and weighs…

Micro-randomized trials (MRTs) are increasingly used to evaluate mobile health interventions with binary proximal outcomes. Standard inverse probability weighting (IPW) estimators are unbiased but unstable in small samples or under extreme…

In this paper, we introduce a novel, data-driven approach for solving high-dimensional Bayesian inverse problems based on partial differential equations (PDEs), called Weak Neural Variational Inference (WNVI). The method complements real…

Weighted ensemble (WE) is an enhanced path-sampling method that is conceptually simple, widely applicable, and statistically exact. In a WE simulation, an ensemble of trajectories is periodically pruned or replicated to enhance sampling of…

Prediction deviations of different uncertainties have varying impacts on downstream decision-making. Improving the prediction accuracy of critical uncertainties with significant impacts on decision-making quality yields better optimization…

The problem of estimation of density functionals like entropy and mutual information has received much attention in the statistics and information theory communities. A large class of estimators of functionals of the probability density…

The development of coherent missing data models to account for nonmonotone missing at random (MAR) data by inverse probability weighting (IPW) remains to date largely unresolved. As a consequence, IPW has essentially been restricted for use…

Envelope methodology is succinctly pitched as a class of procedures for increasing efficiency in multivariate analyses without altering traditional objectives \citep[first sentence of page 1]{cook2018introduction}. This description is true…

In this paper, we consider the concept of the residual inaccuracy measure and extend it to its weighted version based on extropy. Properties of this measure are studied and the discrimination principle is applied in the class of…

The notion of weighted Renyi's entropy for truncated random variables has recently been proposed in the information-theoretic literature. In this paper, we introduce a generalized measure of it for double truncated distribution, namely…
