چکیده
The paper introduces a way of re-constructing a loss function from predictive complexity. We show that a loss function and expectations of the corresponding predictive complexity w.r.t. the Bernoulli distribution are related through the Legendre transformation. It is shown that if two loss functions specify the same complexity then they are equivalent in a strong sense. The expectations are also related to the so called generalized entropy.

Error Estimates for Gauss Quadrature Formulas for Analytic Functions
1. Introduction. The estimation of quadrature errors for analytic functions has been considered by Davis and Rabinowitz [1]. An estimate for the error of the Gaussian quadrature formula for analytic functions was obtained by Davis [2]. McNamee [3] has also discussed the estimation of error of the Gauss-Legendre quadrature for analytic functions. Convergence of the Gaussian quadratures was discu...
متن کاملUsing shifted Legendre scaling functions for solving fractional biochemical reaction problem
In this paper, biochemical reaction problem is given in the form of a system of non-linear differential equations involving Caputo fractional derivative. The aim is to suggest an instrumental scheme to approximate the solution of this problem. To achieve this goal, the fractional derivation terms are expanded as the elements of shifted Legendre scaling functions. Then, applying operational matr...
متن کاملOn Parameter Differentiation for Integral Representations of Associated Legendre Functions
For integral representations of associated Legendre functions in terms of modified Bessel functions, we establish justification for differentiation under the integral sign with respect to parameters. With this justification, derivatives for associated Legendre functions of the first and second kind with respect to the degree are evaluated at odd-halfinteger degrees, for general complex-orders, ...
