Statistical Divergences between Densities of Truncated Exponential Families with Nested Supports: Duo Bregman and Duo Jensen Divergences

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
By calculating the Kullback–Leibler divergence between two probability measures belonging to different exponential families dominated by the same measure, we obtain a formula that generalizes the ordinary Fenchel–Young divergence.

The Kullback-Leibler Divergence Class in Decoding the Chest Sound Pattern [PDF]

open access: yesInformatică economică, 2019
Kullback-Leibler Divergence Class or relative entropy is a special case of broader divergence. It represents a calculation of how one probability distribution diverges from another one, expected probability distribution. Kullback-Leibler divergence has a

Chained Kullback-Leibler divergences [PDF]

open access: yes2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), 2016
We define and characterize the "chained" Kullback-Leibler divergence min w D(p‖w) + D(w‖q) minimized over all intermediate distributions w and the analogous k-fold chained K-L divergence min D(p‖wk-1) + … + D(w2‖w1) + D(w1‖q) minimized over the entire path (w1,…,wk-1).

Parameter Estimation Based on Cumulative Kullback–Leibler Divergence

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2021
In this paper, we propose some estimators for the parameters of a statistical model based on Kullback–Leibler divergence of the survival function in continuous setting and apply it to type I censored data.

Model Averaging Estimation Method by Kullback–Leibler Divergence for Multiplicative Error Model

open access: yesComplexity, 2022
In this paper, we propose the model averaging estimation method for multiplicative error model and construct the corresponding weight choosing criterion based on the Kullback–Leibler divergence with a hyperparameter to avoid the problem of overfitting ...

On Voronoi Diagrams on the Information-Geometric Cauchy Manifolds

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
We study the Voronoi diagrams of a finite set of Cauchy distributions and their dual complexes from the viewpoint of information geometry by considering the Fisher-Rao distance, the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the chi square divergence, and a flat ...

Monotonic decrease of the quantum nonadditive divergence by projective measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Nonadditive (nonextensive) generalization of the quantum Kullback-Leibler divergence, termed the quantum q-divergence, is shown not to increase by projective measurements in an elementary manner.Comment: 10 pages, no figures.

Time series irreversibility: a visibility graph approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We propose a method to measure real-valued time series irreversibility which combines two differ- ent tools: the horizontal visibility algorithm and the Kullback-Leibler divergence.

Some bounds for skewed α-Jensen-Shannon divergence

open access: yesResults in Applied Mathematics, 2019
Based on the skewed Kullback-Leibler divergence introduced in the natural language processing, we derive the upper and lower bounds on the skewed version of the Jensen-Shannon divergence and investigate properties of them.
