A non-parametric symmetric measure of divergence which belongs to the family of Csiszár’s f -divergences is proposed. Its properties are studied and bounds in terms of some well known divergence measures obtained. An application to the mutual information is considered. A parametric measure of information is also derived from the suggested non-parametric measure. A numerical illustration to comp...

multi-environment trials play a significant role in selecting the best cultivars to be used at different locations. the objective of this study was to identify grain and forage yields stability of grass pea advanced lines across different locations. the 14 advanced lines of grass pea, developed by the international center for agricultural research in dry areas (icarda), were tested at three dif...

Based on alpha-stable distributional modelling, we have proposed a set of parametric measures to analyze long-term heart rate variability(HRV). The set, in difference from standard measures, accommodates premature beats in the HRV analysis. It preserves the structure of standard measures, redefines many of them and includes new measures. The rationale of the method was demonstrated by simulatio...

In this study, we assumed that 28 European countries (Decision Making Units (DMUs)) aimed to accomplish higher economic outputs, using fewer resources and producing emissions in the form of environmental degradation. context, studied drivers total factor productivity change (TFPCH) DMUs, associated with either managerial capabilities (efficiency (EC)) or innovations (technical (TC)) resource-sa...

In the literature of fuzzy measures, there exist many well known parametric and non-parametric measures, each with its own merits and limitations. But our main emphasis is on applications of these measures to a variety of disciplines. To extend the scope of applications of these fuzzy measures to geometry, we need some special fuzzy measures. In this communication, we have introduced two new fu...

Methods Patients diagnosed of Juvenile dermatomyositis in La Fe Hospital (Valencia, Spain) since June 1992 to March 2013. Dates are shown in median and interquartile range for non-parametric variables, and for parametric variables is given as mean and standard deviation. To assess response to treatment, we used Wilcoxon test for paired measures of non-parametric variables and t-student for para...

Abstract. In this paper we shall consider one parametric generalization of some nonsymmetric divergence measures. The non-symmetric divergence measures are such as: Kullback-Leibler relative information, χ2−divergence, relative J – divergence, relative Jensen – Shannon divergence and relative Arithmetic – Geometric divergence. All the generalizations considered can be written as particular case...
