On scale and concentration invariance in entropies
نویسنده
چکیده
Rényi entropies are compared to generalized log-Fisher information and variational entropies in the context of translation, scale and concentration invariance. It is proved that the Rényi entropies occupy a special place amongst these entropies. It is also shown that Shannon entropy is centrally positioned amidst the Rényi entropies.

Comments on "Nonextensive Entropies derived from Form Invariance of Pseudoadditivity"
The form invariance of pseudoadditivity is shown to determine the structure of nonextensive entropies. Nonextensive entropy is defined as the appropriate expectation value of nonextensive information content, similar to the definition of Shannon entropy. Information content in a nonextensive system is obtained uniquely from generalized axioms by replacing the usual additivity with pseudoadditiv...
متن کاملCharacterizations Using Entropies of Records in a Geometric Random Record Model
Suppose that a geometrically distributed number of observations are available from an absolutely continuous distribution function $F$, within this set of observations denote the random number of records by $M$. This is called geometric random record model. In this paper, characterizations of $F$ are provided in terms of the subsequences entropies of records conditional on events ${M geq n}$ or ...

متن کاملA Preferred Definition of Conditional Rényi Entropy
The Rényi entropy is a generalization of Shannon entropy to a one-parameter family of entropies. Tsallis entropy too is a generalization of Shannon entropy. The measure for Tsallis entropy is non-logarithmic. After the introduction of Shannon entropy , the conditional Shannon entropy was derived and its properties became known. Also, for Tsallis entropy, the conditional entropy was introduced a...
متن کاملAn Extension of Enhanced Russell Measure to deal with Interval Scale Data in DEA
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models with interval inputs and outputs have been rarely discussed in DEA literature. This paper, using the enhanced Russell measurement proposes an extended model which permits the presence of interval scale variables which can take both negative and positive values. The model is compared with most well-known DEA models of which include the CCR model, the BCC mo...
