... Discontinuity of Entropy From Case A to Case D, the difficulty is increasing. By the Shannon entropy, the uncertainty is increasing although the probability of the child being in the blue room is also increasing. We can continue to construct this example and make the chance in the blue room approac ...

... are far from having such a partition. Their proof shows that based on the local information, one can (randomly) construct a global partition of the graph into small components by removing at most dn edges from the graph. As a result they show that the membership in any monotone hyperfinite property ...

On Finding Predictors for Arbitrary Families of Processes
... well every measure in the class, then there exists a Bayesian predictor (with a rather simple prior) that has this property too. In this respect it is important to note that the result obtained about such a Bayesian predictor is pointwise (holds for every µ in C), and stretches far beyond the set it ...

11. Maximum Likelihood Estimation
... • Example 2: Suppose that we have some observations x1,…, xn which we wish to model as observations of i.i.d. r.v.’s from a normal distribution with unknown mean and unknown variance 2, to be estimated. 1. Form the likelihood and then the corresponding log-likelihood 2. Maximise the log-likelihoo ...
