Mutual Information second order expansion is the Pearson's chi-square statistic
Marius Marinescu
We show that MI connects subtly and elegantly the two best-known state-of-the-art independence test statistics: the and the Pearson's chi-square statistic . Furthermore…
The Connection between Kriging and Large Neural Networks
Marius Marinescu
AI has impacted many disciplines and is nowadays ubiquitous. In particular, spatial statistics is in a pivotal moment where it will increasingly intertwine with AI. In this scenari…
Explaining and Connecting Kriging with Gaussian Process Regression
Marius Marinescu
Kriging and Gaussian Process Regression are statistical methods that allow predicting the outcome of a random process or a random field by using a sample of correlated observations…
On the use of Mutual Information for Testing Independence
Marius Marinescu, Costel Balcau
In this paper we use a well know method in statistics, the -method, to provide an asymptotic distribution for the Mutual Information, and construct and independence test based…
