[HTML][HTML] Log-concavity and strong log-concavity: a review

A Saumard, JA Wellner - Statistics surveys, 2014 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
We review and formulate results concerning log-concavity and strong-log-concavity in both
discrete and continuous settings. We show how preservation of log-concavity and strongly …

Forward and reverse entropy power inequalities in convex geometry

M Madiman, J Melbourne, P Xu - Convexity and concentration, 2017 - Springer
The entropy power inequality, which plays a fundamental role in information theory and
probability, may be seen as an analogue of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. Motivated by …

Count-min: Optimal estimation and tight error bounds using empirical error distributions

D Ting - Proceedings of the 24th ACM SIGKDD International …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
The Count-Min sketch is an important and well-studied data summarization method. It can
estimate the count of any item in a stream using a small, fixed size data sketch. However, the …

Rogozin's convolution inequality for locally compact groups

M Madiman, J Melbourne, P Xu - arXiv preprint arXiv:1705.00642, 2017 - arxiv.org
General extensions of an inequality due to Rogozin, concerning the essential supremum of
a convolution of probability density functions on the real line, are obtained. While a weak …

Multiobjective optimization of crewed spacecraft supportability strategies

AC Owens - 2019 - dspace.mit.edu
Future crewed missions present a logistical challenge that is unprecedented in human
spaceflight. Astronauts will travel farther from Earth than ever before, and stay in space for …

Entropy and the discrete central limit theorem

L Gavalakis, I Kontoyiannis - Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2024 - Elsevier
A strengthened version of the central limit theorem for discrete random variables is
established, relying only on information-theoretic tools and elementary arguments. It is …
