Dispersion measures and dispersive orderings
In this paper, the comparison of random variables according to the functionals of a general class of dispersion measures is characterized in terms of the dilation order. The Ginis mean di¤erence is a particular member of this general class. In addition, a new and weaker order, called the second-order absolute Lorenz ordering, is introduced, and we judge random variables according to certain fu...
متن کاملComparisons between quantum state distinguishability measures
We provide a compendium of inequalities between several quantum state distinguishability measures. For each measure these inequalities consist of the sharpest possible upper and lower bounds in terms of another measure. Some of these inequalities are already known, but new or more general proofs are given, whereas other inequalities are new. We also supply cases of equality to show that all ine...
متن کاملCryptographic Distinguishability Measures for Quantum-Mechanical States
This paper, mostly expository in nature, surveys four measures of distinguishability for quantum-mechanical states. This is done from the point of view of the cryptographer with a particular eye on applications in quantum cryptography. Each of the measures considered is rooted in an analogous classical measure of distinguishability for probability distributions: namely, the probability of an id...
متن کاملFrom Absolute Distinguishability to Positive Distinguishability
We study methods of converting algorithms that distinguish pairs of distributions with a gap that has an absolute value that is noticeable into corresponding algorithms in which the gap is always positive (and noticeable). Our focus is on designing algorithms that, in addition to the tested string, obtain a fixed number of samples from each distribution. Needless to say, such algorithms can not...
متن کاملUsing Four Cost Measures to Determine Arc Reversal Orderings
Four cost measures s1, s2, s3, s4 were recently studied for sorting the operations in Lazy propagation with arc reversal (LPAR), a join tree propagation approach to Bayesian network inference. It has been suggested to use s1 with LPAR, since there is an effectiveness ranking, say s1, s2, s3, s4, when applied in isolation. In this paper, we also suggest to use s1 with LPAR, but to use s2 to brea...
