Symmetrizing the Kullback-Leibler Distance
We define a new distance measure the resistor-average distance between two probability distributions that is closely related to the Kullback-Leibler distance. While the KullbackLeibler distance is asymmetric in the two distributions, the resistor-average distance is not. It arises from geometric considerations similar to those used to derive the Chernoff distance. Determining its relation to we...
متن کاملSoftware Tools for the Analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the most popular method for imaging of brain functions. Currently, there is a large variety of software packages for the analysis of fMRI data, each providing many features for users. Since there is no single package that can provide all the necessary analyses for the fMRI data, it is helpful to know the features of each software package. ...
متن کاملRigid Registration of Echoplanar and Conventional Magnetic Resonance Images by Minimizing the Kullback-Leibler Distance
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies are derived from a time series of Echo-Planar images (EPIs). Compared to conventional Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs), EPIs are of relatively poor quality for discerning anatomic features and are often registered with corresponding MRIs to map brain activity to neuroanatomy. In this paper we demonstrate the utility of a technique to register...
متن کاملUsing Kullback-Leibler distance for performance evaluation of search designs
This paper considers the search problem, introduced by Srivastava cite{Sr}. This is a model discrimination problem. In the context of search linear models, discrimination ability of search designs has been studied by several researchers. Some criteria have been developed to measure this capability, however, they are restricted in a sense of being able to work for searching only one possibl...
