Bivariate Extension of Past Entropy

Authors

Abstract:

Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2002) has been proposed a measure of uncertainty related to past life namely past entropy. The present paper addresses the question of extending this concept to bivariate set-up and study some properties of the proposed measure. It is shown that the proposed measure uniquely determines the distribution function. Characterizations for some bivariate lifetime models are obtained using the proposed measure. Further, we define new classes of life distributions based on this measure and properties of the new classes are also discussed. We also proposed a non-parametric kernel estimator for the proposed measure and illustrated performance of the estimator using a numerical data.

A Note on the Bivariate Maximum Entropy Modeling

Let X=(X1 ,X2 ) be a continuous random vector. Under the assumption that the marginal distributions of X1 and X2 are given, we develop models for vector X when there is partial information about the dependence structure between X1  and X2. The models which are obtained based on well-known Principle of Maximum Entropy are called the maximum entropy (ME) mo...

An extension of the bivariate chromatic polynomial

K.Dohmen, A.Pönitz and P.Tittman (2003), introduced a bivariate generalization of the chromatic polynomial P (G, x, y) which subsumes also the independent set polynomial of I. Gutman and F. Harary, (1983) and the vertex-cover polynomial of F.M. Dong, M.D. Hendy, K.T. Teo and C.H.C. Little (2002). We first show that P (G, x, y) has a recursive definition with respect to three kinds of edge elimi...

A new extension of bivariate FGM copulas

We propose a new family of copulas generalizing the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern family and generated by two univariate functions. The main feature of this family is to permit the modeling of high positive dependence. In particular, it is established that the range of the Spearman’s Rho is [−3/4, 1] and that the upper tail dependence coefficient can reach any value in [0, 1]. Necessary and suffici...

Entropy Theory without Past

This paper treats the Pinsker algebra of a dynamical system in a way which avoids the use of an ordering on the acting group. This enables us to prove some of the classical results about entropy and the Pinsker algebra in the general setup of measure preserving dynamical systems, where the acting group is a discrete countable amenable group. We prove a basic disjointness theorem which asserts t...

Bivariate drought analysis using entropy theory

Drought duration and severity are two properties that are usually needed for drought analysis. To characterize the correlation between the two drought properties, a bivariate distribution is needed. A new method based on entropy theory is proposed for constructing the bivariate distribution that is capable of modeling drought duration and severity with different marginal distributions. Paramete...

Behavior Preserving Extension of Univariate and Bivariate Functions

Given function values on a domain D0 , possibly with noise, we examine the possibility of extending the function to a larger domain D,D0 ⊂ D. In addition to smoothness at the boundary of D0 , the extension to D \ D0 should also inherit behavioral trends of the function on D0 , such as growth and decay or even oscillations. The approach chosen here is based upon the framework of linear models, u...
