Entropy of the Sum of Two Independent, Non-Identically-Distributed Exponential Random Variables
In this letter, we give a concise, closed-form expression for the differential entropy of the sum of two independent, non-identically-distributed exponential random variables. The derivation is straightforward, but such a concise entropy has not been previously given in the literature. The usefulness of the expression is demonstrated with examples.
متن کاملOrder Statistics from Independent Exponential Random Variables and the Sum of the Top Order Statistics
Let X(i) < • • • < X(^) be the order statistics from n independent nonidentically distributed exponential random variables. We investigate the dependence structure of these order statistics, and provide a distributional identity that facilitates their simulation and the study of their moment properties. Next, we consider the partial sum Ti — Yl^=i^i ^{j)'> 0 < i < n — 1. We obtain an explicit e...
متن کاملMaximizing the Entropy of a Sum of Independent Random Variables
Let X1; : : : ;Xn be n independent, symmetric random variables supported on the interval [-1,1] and let Sn = Pn i=1Xi be their sum. We show that the di erential entropy of Sn is maximized when X1; : : : ;Xn 1 are Bernoulli taking on +1 or -1 with equal probability and Xn is uniformly distributed. This entropy maximization problem is due to Shlomo Shamai [1] who also conjectured the solution1.
متن کاملOn the Maximum Partial Sum of Independent Random Variables.
this becomes false if (BI), (Be) and (B) are replaced by (Nt), (NM) and (N), respectively. This follows, even for p = 2 = q, from the above example proving that (NW) is not linear. Correspondingly, (Ne) cannot be interpreted as the dual space of (NP), since such an interpretation would involve the definition of a scalar product. 7. Let (Nt) denote the space which relates to the space (Nt) in th...
متن کاملPossibility transformation of the sum of two symmetric unimodal independent/comonotone random variables
The paper extends author’s previous works on a probability/possibility transformation based on a maximum specificity principle to the case of the sum of two identical unimodal symmetric random variables. This transformation requires the knowledge of the dependency relationship between the two added variables. In fact, the comonotone case is closely related to the Zadeh’s extension principle. It...
