A generalization of local divergence measures

a generalization of strong causality

در این رساله t_n - علیت قوی تعریف می شود. این رده ها در جدول علیت فضا- زمان بین علیت پایدار و علیت قوی قرار دارند. یک قضیه برای رده بندی آنها ثابت می شود و t_n- علیت قوی با رده های علی کارتر مقایسه می شود. همچنین ثابت می شود که علیت فشرده پایدار از t_n - علیت قوی نتیجه می شود. بعلاوه به بررسی رابطه نظریه دامنه ها با نسبیت عام می پردازیم و ثابت می کنیم که نوع خاصی از فضا- زمان های علی پایدار, ب...

Generalization of Entropy Based Divergence Measures for Symbolic Sequence Analysis

Entropy based measures have been frequently used in symbolic sequence analysis. A symmetrized and smoothed form of Kullback-Leibler divergence or relative entropy, the Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD), is of particular interest because of its sharing properties with families of other divergence measures and its interpretability in different domains including statistical physics, information theo...

Local divergence measures on infinite referentials

Divergence measures and a general framework for local variational approximation

The local variational method is a technique to approximate an intractable posterior distribution in Bayesian learning. This article formulates a general framework for local variational approximation and shows that its objective function is decomposable into the sum of the Kullback information and the expected Bregman divergence from the approximating posterior distribution to the Bayesian poste...

A generalization of the Jensen divergence: The chord gap divergence

We introduce a novel family of distances, called the chord gap divergences, that generalizes the Jensen divergences (also called the Burbea-Rao distances), and study its properties. It follows a generalization of the celebrated statistical Bhattacharyya distance that is frequently met in applications. We report an iterative concave-convex procedure for computing centroids, and analyze the perfo...
