Applications of Bregman Divergence Measures in Bayesian Modeling

open access: yes, 2015
This dissertation has mainly focused on the development of statistical theory, methodology, and application from a Bayesian perspective using a general class of divergence measures (or loss functions), called Bregman divergence.

Linking regional and global functional trait data: insights from mammal communities in a fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Bregman Wave Distribution Function Method

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract This study proposes a wave distribution function (WDF) estimation method based on minimizing the Bregman divergence in the function space. The proposed method is entirely data‐driven and requires no hyperparameter tuning during the estimation process. It can be regarded as an extension of the maximum entropy method.

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.

Enhanced Time‐Locked Decoding for Spoken Words but Not Environmental Sounds in Natural‐Like Auditory Conditions

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 1, July 2026.
We examined cortical tracking of speech under naturalistic auditory conditions by recording MEG responses while participants listened to superimposed spoken words and environmental sounds. Decoding sound envelopes and spectrograms from the MEG responses revealed a more accurate cortical tracking of speech compared to other natural sounds in the left ...

Income Distributions and Decomposable Divergence Measures [PDF]

open access: yes
Inequality indices (i) evaluate the divergence between the income distribution and the hypothetical situation where all individuals have the mean income and (ii) are unambiguously reduced by a Pigou-Dalton progressive transfer.

Contrasting Forest Trajectories Drive Changes in Bird Functional Traits

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We investigated how bird functional diversity varies across forest habitat types with distinct successional trajectories, namely (1) natural succession forests, with naturally regenerating forests established on former grasslands; (2) secondary forest remnants resulting from deforestation; and (3) conserved forests.

Error estimate for regularized optimal transport problems via Bregman divergence

open access: yes, 2023
Regularization by the Shannon entropy enables us to efficiently and approximately solve optimal transport problems on a finite set. This paper is concerned with regularized optimal transport problems via Bregman divergence.
