Fisher information distance: a geometrical reading?
This paper is a strongly geometrical approach to the Fisher distance, which is a measure of dissimilarity between two probability distribution functions. The Fisher distance, as well as other divergence measures, are also used in many applications to establish a proper data average. The main purpose is to widen the range of possible interpretations and relations of the Fisher distance and its a...
متن کاملRelations between Renyi Distance and Fisher Information
In this paper, we first show that Renyi distance between any member of a parametric family and its perturbations, is proportional to its Fisher information. We, then, prove some relations between the Renyi distance of two distributions and the Fisher information of their exponentially twisted family of densities. Finally, we show that the partial ordering of families induced by Renyi dis...
متن کاملAllen Fisher: Reading 'mummers' Strut'
In 1995, Allen Fisher published a poem entitled ‘Mummers’ Strut’ in an issue of the magazine West Coast Line,[1] accompanied by a statement of poetics. The poem is organised into twentyseven short numbered sections, mostly in couplets, ranging from two to twenty lines in length. The predominant impression is of a fragmented discourse that is hard to read as constructing a consistent speaking vo...
متن کاملAnt Navigation: Reading Geometrical Signposts
Ants often travel along complex pheromone trail systems between their nest and foraging areas. A new and surprising discovery is that Pharaoh's ants can work out from the geometry of individual branch points on the trail whether they are heading towards or away from the nest.
متن کاملRemarks on Fisher Information
Some situations are discussed where subquantum oscillations in momentum arise in connection with Fisher information and the quantum potential.
