Breaking the Bandwidth Barrier: Geometrical Adaptive Entropy Estimation
Weihao Gao, Sewoong Oh, Pramod Viswanath
Estimators of information theoretic measures such as entropy and mutual information are a basic workhorse for many downstream applications in modern data science. State of the art…
Demystifying Fixed k-Nearest Neighbor Information Estimators
Weihao Gao, Sewoong Oh, Pramod Viswanath
Estimating mutual information from i.i.d. samples drawn from an unknown joint density function is a basic statistical problem of broad interest with multitudinous applications. The…
Conditional Dependence via Shannon Capacity: Axioms, Estimators and Applications
Weihao Gao, Sreeram Kannan, Sewoong Oh +1
We conduct an axiomatic study of the problem of estimating the strength of a known causal relationship between a pair of variables. We propose that an estimate of causal strength s…
