The use of the logarithm of the variate in the calculation of d

چکیده
This paper demonstrates that basic statistics (mean, variance) of the logarithm of the variate itself can be used in the calculation of differential entropy among random variables known to be multiples and powers of a common underlying variate. For the same set of distributions, the variance of the differential self-information is shown also to be a function of statistics of the logarithmic variate. Then entropy and its “variance” can be estimated using only statistics of the logarithmic variate plus constants, without reference to the traditional parameters of the variate.

The use of the logarithm of the variate in the calculation of differential entropy among certain related statistical distributions
This paper demonstrates that the logarithm of the variate itself can be used in the calculation of differential entropy among random variables known to be multiples and powers of a common underlying variate. It also presents a function that gives the entropy of these related variates, using only statistics of the logarithm of the variate plus a constant, regardless of the nature or the paramete...
متن کاملUse of Two Smoothing Parameters in Penalized Spline Estimator for Bi-variate Predictor Non-parametric Regression Model
Penalized spline criteria involve the function of goodness of fit and penalty, which in the penalty function contains smoothing parameters. It serves to control the smoothness of the curve that works simultaneously with point knots and spline degree. The regression function with two predictors in the non-parametric model will have two different non-parametric regression functions. Therefore, we...

Background: Accurate computation of the radiation dose to the breast is essential to mammography. Various the thicknesses of breast, the composition of the breast tissue and other variables affect the optimal breast dose. Furthermore, the glandular fraction, which refers to the composition of the breasts, as partitioned between radiation-sensitive glandular tissue and the adipose tissue, also h...

متن کاملTopological Relationship Between One-Dimensional Box Model and Randić Indices in Linear Simple Conjugated Polyenes
The alternative double bonds and conjugation in the polyene compounds are one of the main properties in these compounds. Each carbon-carbon bonds in a polyene compound along the chain has appreciable double-bond character. The p-electrons are therefore not localized but are relatively free to move throughout the entire carbon skeleton as an one-dimensional box. The skeleton be considered as a r...
