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.

On the Interventional Kullback-Leibler Divergence

open access: yesCoRR, 2023
Modern machine learning approaches excel in static settings where a large amount of i.i.d. training data are available for a given task. In a dynamic environment, though, an intelligent agent needs to be able to transfer knowledge and re-use learned components across domains. It has been argued that this may be possible through causal models, aiming to

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 ...

Kullback–Leibler Divergence and Mutual Information of Partitions in Product MV Algebras

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
The purpose of the paper is to introduce, using the known results concerning the entropy in product MV algebras, the concepts of mutual information and Kullback–Leibler divergence for the case of product MV algebras and examine algebraic properties of ...

Guaranteed Bounds on Information-Theoretic Measures of Univariate Mixtures Using Piecewise Log-Sum-Exp Inequalities

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
Information-theoretic measures, such as the entropy, the cross-entropy and the Kullback–Leibler divergence between two mixture models, are core primitives in many signal processing tasks.

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.
