Diversity Sensitivity and Multimodal Bayesian Statistical Analysis by Relative Entropy
A list of recognised social diversities is assembled, including those used in social action programmes in the USA. Responses to diversity are discussed and diversity sensitivity defined as the derivative of response with respect to a defining parameter of a diversity distribution. Rewards (or penalties) for diversity are listed also; sensitivities to the responses to the rewards for diversity a...
متن کاملBayesian Statistical Analysis of Bacterial Diversity
Bacteria play an important role in many ecological systems. The molecular characterization of bacteria using either cultivation-dependent or cultivation-independent methods reveals the large scale of bacterial diversity in natural communities, and the vastness of populations within a species or genus. Understanding how bacterial diversity varies across different environments and also within pop...
متن کاملParametric Bayesian Estimation of Differential Entropy and Relative Entropy
Given iid samples drawn from a distribution with known parametric form, we propose the minimization of expected Bregman divergence to form Bayesian estimates of differential entropy and relative entropy, and derive such estimators for the uniform, Gaussian, Wishart, and inverse Wishart distributions. Additionally, formulas are given for a log gamma Bregman divergence and the differential entrop...
متن کاملA Bayesian Characterization of Relative Entropy
Abstract. We give a new characterization of relative entropy, also known as the Kullback–Leibler divergence. We use a number of interesting categories related to probability theory. In particular, we consider a category FinStat where an object is a finite set equipped with a probability distribution, while a morphism is a measure-preserving function f : X → Y together with a stochastic right in...
متن کاملImproving Relative-Entropy Pruning using Statistical Significance
Relative Entropy-based pruning has been shown to be efficient for pruning language models for more than a decade ago. Recently, this method has been applied to Phrase-based Machine Translation, and results suggest that this method is comparable the state-of-art pruning method based on significance tests. In this work, we show that these 2 methods are effective in pruning different types of phra...
