Dynamic Bayesian Information Measures
This paper introduces measures of information for Bayesian analysis when the support of data distribution is truncated progressively. The focus is on the lifetime distributions where the support is truncated at the current age t>=0. Notions of uncertainty and information are presented and operationalized by Shannon entropy, Kullback-Leibler information, and mutual information. Dynamic updatings...
متن کاملInformation Measures via Copula Functions
In applications of differential geometry to problems of parametric inference, the notion of divergence is often used to measure the separation between two parametric densities. Among them, in this paper, we will verify measures such as Kullback-Leibler information, J-divergence, Hellinger distance, -Divergence, … and so on. Properties and results related to distance between probability d...
متن کاملAn axiomatization of success
In this paper we give an axiomatic characterization of three families of measures of success de ned by Laruelle and Valenciano (2005) for voting rules. Key words: collective decision-making, voting rules, axiomatization 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to provide an axiomatization of the measures of success in voting rules. We look for a set of axioms, that is, assumptions that, whateve...
متن کاملAn Axiomatization of Naive Diversification
A widely applied diversification paradigm is the naive diversification choice heuristic. It stipulates that an economic agent allocates equal decision weights to given choice alternatives independent of their individual characteristics. This article provides mathematically and economically sound choice theoretic foundations for the naive approach to diversification. We axiomatize naive diversif...
متن کاملAn axiomatization of partition entropy
The aim of this paper is to present an axiomatization of a generalization of Shannon’s entropy starting from partitions of finite sets. The proposed axiomatization yields as special cases the Havrda-Charvat entropy, and thus, provides axiomatizations for the Shannon entropy, the Gini index, and for other types of entropy used in classification and data mining. Keywords—Shannon entropy, Gini ind...
