1. Nonparametric Statistical Inference for Entropy-type Functionals
Abstract : In this thesis, we study statistical inference for entropy, divergence, and related functionals of one or two probability distributions. Asymptotic properties of particular nonparametric estimators of such functionals are investigated. We consider estimation from both independent and dependent observations. READ MORE
