It is shown that (in case of radio signals) t he most effieient es timate of the parameter is obtain ed using t he sample mean power. Complications may a rise wh en data are missin g or a re a ...

We find the value of constants related to constraints in characterization of some known statistical distributions and then we proceed to use the idea behind maximum entropy principle to derive generalized version of this distributions using the Tsallis’ and Renyi information measures instead of the well-known Bolztmann-Gibbs-Shannon. These generalized distributions will depend on q ∈ R and in t...
