Some Inequalities between Moments of Probability Distributions
In this paper inequalities between univariate moments are obtained when the random variate, discrete or continuous, takes values on a finite interval. Further some inequalities are given for the moments of bivariate distributions.
متن کاملConcentration Inequalities for Multivariate Distributions: I. Multivariate Norivial Distributions
Let X rv Np(O, E), the p-variate normal distribution with mean °and positive definite covariance matrix .E. Anderson (1955) showed that if .E2 .E1 is positive semidefinite then PEl (C) 2: P E2(C) for every centrally symmetric (-C = convex set C ~ RP. Fefferman, Jodeit, and Perlman (1972) extended this result to elliptically contoured distributions. In the present paper similar multivariate f f"...
متن کاملInformation-theoretic inequalities for contoured probability distributions
We show that for a special class of probability distributions that we call contoured distributions, information theoretic invariants and inequalities are equivalent to geometric invariants and inequalities of bodies in Euclidean space associated with the distributions. Using this, we obtain characterizations of contoured distributions with extremal Shannon and Renyi entropy. We also obtain a ne...
متن کاملClustering Multivariate Normal Distributions
In this paper, we consider the task of clustering multivariate normal distributions with respect to the relative entropy into a prescribed number, k, of clusters using a generalization of Lloyd’s k-means algorithm [1]. We revisit this information-theoretic clustering problem under the auspices of mixed-type Bregman divergences, and show that the approach of Davis and Dhillon [2] (NIPS*06) can a...
متن کاملBayesian inference for multivariate gamma distributions
The paper considers the multivariate gamma distribution for which the method of moments has been considered as the only method of estimation due to the complexity of the likelihood function. With a non-conjugate prior, practical Bayesian analysis can be conducted using Gibbs sampling with data augmentation. The new methods are illustrated using artificial data for a trivariate gamma distributio...
