Application of Renyi entropy for ultrasonic molecular imaging.
Previous work has demonstrated that a signal receiver based on a limiting form of the Shannon entropy is, in certain settings, more sensitive to subtle changes in scattering architecture than conventional energy-based signal receivers [M. S. Hughes et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 121, 3542-3557 (2007)]. In this paper new results are presented demonstrating further improvements in sensitivity using ...
متن کاملProperties of an entropy-based signal receiver with an application to ultrasonic molecular imaging.
Qualitative and quantitative properties of the finite part, H(f), of the Shannon entropy of a continuous waveform f(t) in the continuum limit are derived in order to illuminate its use for waveform characterization. Simple upper and lower bounds on H(f), based on features of f(t), are defined. Quantitative criteria for a priori estimation of the average-case variation of H(f) and log E(f), wher...
متن کاملRenyi Entropy Estimation Revisited
We revisit the problem of estimating entropy of discrete distributions from independent samples, studied recently by Acharya, Orlitsky, Suresh and Tyagi (SODA 2015), improving their upper and lower bounds on the necessary sample size n. For estimating Renyi entropy of order α, up to constant accuracy and error probability, we show the following Upper bounds n = O(1) · 2(1− 1 α )Hα for integer α...
متن کاملShannon Entropy , Renyi Entropy , and Information
This memo contains proofs that the Shannon entropy is the limiting case of both the Renyi entropy and the Tsallis entropy, or information. These results are also confirmed experimentally. We conclude with some general observations on the utility of entropy measures. A brief summary of the origins of the concept of physical entropy are provided in an appendix.
متن کاملTesting Exponentiality Based on Renyi Entropy of Transformed Data
In this paper, we introduce new tests for exponentiality based on estimators of Renyi entropy of a continuous random variable. We first consider two transformations of the observations which turn the test of exponentiality into one of uniformity and use a corresponding test based on Renyi entropy. Critical values of the test statistics are computed by Monte Carlo simulations. Then, we compare p...
