An entropy inequality for symmetric random variables
We establish a lower bound on the entropy of weighted sums of (possibly dependent) random variables (X1, X2, . . . , Xn) possessing a symmetric joint distribution. Our lower bound is in terms of the joint entropy of (X1, X2, . . . , Xn). We show that for n ≥ 3, the lower bound is tight if and only if Xi’s are i.i.d. Gaussian random variables. For n = 2 there are numerous other cases of equality...
متن کاملFano's inequality for random variables
We extend Fano’s inequality, which controls the average probability of (disjoint) events in terms of the average of some Kullback-Leibler divergences, to work with arbitrary [0, 1]–valued random variables. Our simple two-step methodology is general enough to cover the case of an arbitrary (possibly continuously infinite) family of distributions as well as [0, 1]–valued random variables not nece...

Multivariate Analysis. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published in We consider the class of multivariate distributions th...
متن کاملAn Exponential Inequality for Negatively Associated Random Variables
An exponential inequality is established for identically distributed negatively associated random variables which have the finite Laplace transforms. The inequality improves the results of Kim and Kim 2007 , Nooghabi and Azarnoosh 2009 , and Xing et al. 2009 . We also obtain the convergence rate O 1 n1/2 logn −1/2 for the strong law of large numbers, which improves the corresponding ones of Kim...
متن کاملMoments Tensors, Hilbert's Identity, and k-wise Uncorrelated Random Variables
In this paper we introduce a notion to be called k-wise uncorrelated random variables, which is similar but not identical to the so-called k-wise independent random variables in the literature. We show how to construct k-wise uncorrelated random variables by a simple procedure. The constructed random variables can be applied, e.g. to express the quartic polynomial (xTQx)2, where Q is an n×n pos...
