Unifying Divergence Minimization and Statistical Inference Via Convex Duality
Abstract. In this paper we unify divergence minimization and statistical inference by means of convex duality. In the process of doing so, we prove that the dual of approximate max...

A Novel Method for Measuring the Structural Information Content of Networks
In this paper we first present a novel approach to determine the structural information content (graph entropy) of a network represented by an undirected and connected graph. Such...

Entropy estimation using the principle of maximum entropy
In this paper, we present a novel entropy estimator for a given set of samples drawn from an unknown probability density function (PDF). Counter to other entropy estimators, the e...

Minimum Entropy Clustering and Applications to Gene Expression Analysis
Clustering is a common methodology for analyzing the gene expression data. In this paper, we present a new clustering algorithm from an information-theoretic point of view. First,...

On the Minimum Entropy of a Mixture of Unimodal and Symmetric Distributions
Progressive encoding of a signal generally involves an estimation step, designed to reduce the entropy of the residual of an observation over the entropy of the observation itself....
