Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of designing nonlinear discrete-time dynamical systems for prospective use in low-complexity random signal generators. Drawing upon ergodic systems theory, ...

"Just Relax It" is a cutting-edge Python library designed to streamline the optimization of discrete probability distributions in neural networks, offering a suite of advanced relaxation techniques ...

Department of Biostatistics, SPHHP, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, United States Over the past years, distances and divergences have been extensively used not only in the statistical literature ...

One confusing question over a long period of time is how transfer the discrete function transfers into continuous function. Recently the issue has been resolved but some details of the transformation ...

Let X denote a discrete distribution as Poisson, binomial or negative binomial variable. The score confidence interval for the mean of X is obtained based on inverting the hypothesis test and the ...

Abstract: We study the problem of quantization of discrete probability distributions, arising in universal coding, as well as other applications. We show, that in many situations this problem can be ...
