Information geometry and asymptotic geodesics on the space of normal distributions

چکیده
The family $$\mathcal {N}$$ of n-variate normal distributions is parameterized by the cone positive definite symmetric $$n\times n$$ -matrices and n-dimensional real vector space. Equipped with Fisher information metric, becomes a Riemannian manifold. As such, it diffeomorphic, but not isometric, to space $$\mathrm {Pos}_1(n+1,\mathbb {R})$$ unimodular $$(n+1)\times (n+1)$$ -matrices. computation distances in metric for $$n>1$$ presents some difficulties, Lovrič et al. (J Multivar Anal 74:36–48, 2000) proposed use Killing on as an alternative which are easier compute. In this work, we survey geometric properties provide quantitative analysis defect certain geodesics be metric. We find that these approximation indeed justified long distances.

Towards information geometry on the space of all distributions
A new geometric structure for information geometry is developed with a simplicial, rather than manifold, basis. This structure is reflected in the +1, −1 and 0 geometries of Amari and in the duality relationship central to information geometry and corresponds to the support and moment structures of the distributions. This underlying geometric structure gives a foundation on which to build a com...

nitric oxide (no) is a small molecule synthesized by most of mammalian cells with diverse biological activities including vasodilatation, host defense and wound healing. impaired wound healing is a common occurrence among diabetics and patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. on the other hand the application of laser in biomedical area have been increased. thus, the current studies were desi...

abstract tasks nowadays are at the center of attention in sla research. task types is one of the critical issues in this regard, their effectiveness and suitability to any particular context, their characteristics and the result they yield are among some of these issues. on the other hand, discourse markers (dms) have been very much investigated and their effectiveness in conveying the meaning...
15 صفحه اولon translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels
phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...
