Nonparametric Estimation of Information-Based Measures of Statistical Dispersion
We address the problem of non-parametric estimation of the recently proposed measures of statistical dispersion of positive continuous random variables. The measures are based on the concepts of differential entropy and Fisher information and describe the “spread” or “variability” of the random variable from a different point of view than the ubiquitously used concept of standard deviation. The...
متن کاملStatistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm
This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...
متن کاملMeasures of statistical dispersion based on Shannon and Fisher information concepts
We propose and discuss two information-based measures of statistical dispersion of positive continuous random variables: the entropy-based dispersion and Fisher information-based dispersion. Although standard deviation is the most frequently employed dispersion measure, we show, that it is not well suited to quantify some aspects that are often expected intuitively, such as the degree of random...
متن کاملStatistical Estimation of Aircraft Infrared Signature Dispersion
Knowledge of aircraft InfraRed Signature (IRS) is indispensable for assessing their detection probability, and thus their survivability in an hostile environment. By signature, we mean all the quantities for predicting the signal that would be observed by an optronic sensor when the aircraft is in its surroundings. For many reasons, the experimental approach is generally not feasible to evaluat...
