Information theory and hypothesis testing: a call for pluralism
1. A major paradigm shift is occurring in the approach of ecologists to statistical analysis. The use of the traditional approach of null-hypothesis testing has been questioned and an alternative, model selection by information–theoretic methods, has been strongly promoted and is now widely used. For certain types of analysis, information–theoretic approaches offer powerful and compelling advan...
متن کاملHypothesis testing and information theory
The testing of binary hypotheses is developed from an information-theoretic point of view, and the asymptotic per formance of opt imum hypothesis testers is developed in exact analogy to the asymptotic per formance of opt imum channel codes. The discrimination, introduced by Kullback, is developed in a role analogous to that of mutual information iu channel coding theory. Based on the discrimin...
متن کاملHYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR AN EXCHANGEABLE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.
متن کاملReliability Criteria in Information Theory and in Statistical Hypothesis Testing
This survey is devoted to one of the central problems of Information Theory — the problem of determination of interdependence between coding rate and error probability exponent for different information transmission systems. The overview deals with memoryless systems of finite alphabet setting. It presents material complementary to the contents of the series of the most remarkable in Informatio...
متن کاملAuthentication theory and hypothesis testing
By interpreting message authentication as a hypothesis testing problem, this paper provides a generalized treatment of information-theoretic lower bounds on an opponent's probability of cheating in one-way message authentication. We consider the authentication of an arbitrary sequence of messages, using the same secret key shared between sender and receiver. The adversary tries to deceive the r...
