Analysis of network by generalized mutual entropies

open access: yesCoRR, 2007
Generalized mutual entropy is defined for networks and applied for analysis of complex network structures. The method is tested for the case of computer simulated scale free networks, random networks, and their mixtures. The possible applications for real network analysis are discussed.

An Analysis of Deterministic Chaos as an Entropy Source for Random Number Generators [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
This paper presents an analytical study on the use of deterministic chaos as an entropy source for the generation of random numbers. The chaotic signal generated by a phase-locked loop (PLL) device is investigated using numerical simulations. Depending on the system parameters, the chaos originating from the PLL device can be either bounded or ...

Generalized Maximum Entropy Analysis of the Linear Simultaneous Equations Model [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
A generalized maximum entropy estimator is developed for the linear simultaneous equations model. Monte Carlo sampling experiments are used to evaluate the estimator’s performance in small and medium sized samples, suggesting contexts in which the current generalized maximum entropy estimator is superior in mean square error to two and three stage ...

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Numerical Investigation of the Expansion Devices Applied in Modern Vapour Compression Refrigeration Unit Considering Specific Entropy and Entropy Generation Analyses

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2022
Ejector-based refrigeration cycles working with natural refrigerants have already gained industry attention. Replacing throttling valve with an ejector in vapour-compression cycles brings high improvement of the cycle efficiency due to the ejectors ...
