Variability Measures of Positive Random Variables
During the stationary part of neuronal spiking response, the stimulus can be encoded in the firing rate, but also in the statistical structure of the interspike intervals. We propose and discuss two information-based measures of statistical dispersion of the interspike interval distribution, the entropy-based dispersion and Fisher information-based dispersion. The measures are compared with the...
متن کاملEstimation of Information Theoretic Measures for Continuous Random Variables
We analyze the estimation of information theoretic measures of continuous random variables such as: differential entropy, mutual information or KullbackLeibler divergence. The objective of this paper is two-fold. First, we prove that the information theoretic measure estimates using the k-nearest-neighbor density estimation with fixed k converge almost surely, even though the k-nearest-neighbor...
متن کاملMultilinear Forms and Measures of Dependence between Random Variables
In his studies of mixing conditions on Markov chains, Rosenblatt [32; 33, Chap. 71 used the Riesz convexity (interpolation) theorem to compare different measures of dependence between two given families of random variables on a probability space. Rosenblatt [34] also suggested that by using other results in operator theory, one might be able to obtain more information about the relationships be...
متن کاملOn the Ratio of Rice Random Variables
The ratio of independent random variables arises in many applied problems. In this article, the distribution of the ratio X/Y is studied, when X and Y are independent Rice random variables. Ratios of such random variable have extensive applications in the analysis of noises of communication systems. The exact forms of probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) a...
متن کاملOn the Number of Positive Sums of Independent Random Variables
2 . The invariance principle . We first prove the following : If the theorem can be established for one particular sequence of independent random variables Y1, Y2, . . . satisfying the conditions of the theorem then the conclusion of the theorem holds for all sequences of independent random variables which satisfy the conditions of the theorem . In other words, if the limiting distribution exis...
