Examples of the Application of Nonparametric Information Geometry to Statistical Physics

نویسنده

  • Giovanni Pistone
چکیده

We review a nonparametric version of Amari’s information geometry in which the set of positive probability densities on a given sample space is endowed with an atlas of charts to form a differentiable manifold modeled on Orlicz Banach spaces. This nonparametric setting is used to discuss the setting of typical problems in machine learning and statistical physics, such as black-box optimization, Kullback-Leibler divergence, Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy and the Boltzmann equation.

Nonparametric Shewhart-type Quality Control Charts in Fuzzy Environment

Nonparametric control charts are presented in order to figure out the problem of detecting changes in the process median (or mean)‎, ‎or changes in the variability process where there is limited knowledge regarding the underlying process‎. ‎When observations are reported imprecise‎, ‎then it is impossible to use classical nonparametric control charts‎. ‎This paper is devoted to the problem of c...

Empirical Likelihood Approach and its Application on Survival Analysis

A number of nonparametric methods exist when studying the population and its parameters in the situation when the distribution is unknown. Some of them such as "resampling bootstrap method" are based on resampling from an initial sample. In this article empirical likelihood approach is introduced as a nonparametric method for more efficient use of auxiliary information to construct...

Statistical physics modeling of equilibrium adsorption of cadmium ions onto activated carbon, chitosan and chitosan/activated carbon composite

The adsorption ability of activated carbon, chitosan, and chitosan/activated carbon composite for cadmium separation from aqueous solution was analyzed via statistical physical modeling. The equilibrium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Hill, double layer model, and the multi-layer model with saturation isotherm models. Results showed that the multi-layer model with saturation could well describe...

Quadtree and Octree Grid Generation

Engineering analysis often involves the accurate numerical solution of boundary value problems in discrete form. Hierarchical quadtree (or octree) grid generation offers an efficient method for the spatial discretisation of arbitrary-shaped two- (or three-) dimensional domains. It consists of recursive algebraic splitting of sub-domains into quadrants (or cubes), leading to an ordered hierarchi...
