Log-Determinant Divergences Revisited: Alpha-Beta and Gamma Log-Det Divergences

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
This work reviews and extends a family of log-determinant (log-det) divergences for symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices and discusses their fundamental properties.

Was that really me? Relationships between memory and sense of self in people with maladaptive daydreaming

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 671-688, June 2026.
Abstract Objectives A cohesive sense of self depends on intact autobiographical memory, both of which are impaired in dissociative disorders. Maladaptive daydreaming (MD), a recently proposed dissociative condition, involves excessive immersion in fantastical inner worlds, often at the expense of real‐life engagement, leading to distress and functional

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

A Practice Framework for Genetic Testing in Asymptomatic Relatives of Patients With Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease: Experience and Insights From Israel

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 6, June 2026.
Presymptomatic genetic testing for genetic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease requires careful balancing of autonomy, psychological preparedness, and potential familial implications. Based on multidisciplinary experience in Israel, we propose a structured framework including pre‐test counseling, psychological appraisal, genetic testing, in‐person results ...

Probabilistic Forecasts: Scoring Rules and Their Decomposition and Diagrammatic Representation via Bregman Divergences

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
A scoring rule is a device for evaluation of forecasts that are given in terms of the probability of an event. In this article we will restrict our attention to binary forecasts.

Isotopy and equivalence of knots in 3‐manifolds

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Two knots K$K$ and J$J$ in S3$S^3$ are isotopic if and only if they are related by an orientation‐preserving diffeomorphism of S3$S^3$. This claim follows from the fact that any orientation‐preserving self‐diffeomorphism of S3$S^3$ is isotopic to the identity. We show that this same idea applies to any prime oriented closed 3‐manifold.

Statistical Analysis of Distance Estimators with Density Differences and Density Ratios

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
Estimating a discrepancy between two probability distributions from samples is an important task in statistics and machine learning. There are mainly two classes of discrepancy measures: distance measures based on the density difference, such as the Lp ...

General H-theorem and Entropies that Violate the Second Law

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
H-theorem states that the entropy production is nonnegative and, therefore, the entropy of a closed system should monotonically change in time. In information processing, the entropy production is positive for random transformation of signals (the ...

On the Centroids of Symmetrized Bregman Divergences

open access: yesCoRR, 2007
In this paper, we generalize the notions of centroids and barycenters to the broad class of information-theoretic distortion measures called Bregman divergences. Bregman divergences are versatile, and unify quadratic geometric distances with various statistical entropic measures.
