Proving the existence of bound states for attractive potentials in 1-d and 2-d without calculus
J. Alexander Jacoby, Maurice Curran, David R. Wolf +1
Schroedinger developed an operator method for solving quantum mechanics. While this technique is overshadowed by his more familiar differential equation approach, it has found wide…
Maximally Informative Statistics
David R. Wolf, Edward I. George
In this paper we propose a Bayesian, information theoretic approach to dimensionality reduction. The approach is formulated as a variational principle on mutual information, and se…
A Bayesian Reflection on Surfaces
David R. Wolf
The topic of this paper is a novel Bayesian continuous-basis field representation and inference framework. Within this paper several problems are solved: The maximally informative…
Mutual Information as a Bayesian Measure of Independence
David Wolf
The problem of hypothesis testing is examined from both the historical and Bayesian points of view in the case that sampling is from an underlying joint probability distribution an…
Estimating Functions of Distributions from A Finite Set of Samples, Part 2: Bayes Estimators for Mutual Information, Chi-Squared, Covariance and other Statistics
David R. Wolf, David H. Wolpert
We present estimators for entropy and other functions of a discrete probability distribution when the data is a finite sample drawn from that probability distribution. In particula…
