How to analyze the value of convergence of functions of random matrices?

Consider a random i.i.d matrix $\mathbf{A}_{m\times n}$ with entries generated from a complex Gaussian distribution with zero mean and unit variance. I am interested in the large dimension analysis of …

How to optimize parametric information-theoretic bounds?

I am faced with an information-theoretic upper bound, such as \begin{align} \sqrt{\alpha'}2^{I_\alpha(X;Y)}, \end{align} where $I_\alpha(X;Y)$ is the Rényi mutual information with parameter $\alpha>1$ …

What is the Fisher information matrix of the von Mises-Fisher distribution?

Assuming the von Mises-Fisher distribution as $$f_{p}(\mathbf{x}; \boldsymbol{\mu}, \kappa) = C_{p}(\kappa) \exp \left( {\kappa \boldsymbol{\mu}^\mathsf{T} \mathbf{x} } \right),$$ where $\kappa \ge 0$ …

Does a subset with small cardinality represent the whole set?

Assume that we have heavy-tailed distribution $F(x)$ such that \begin{align} F(x)=\mathbb{P}[X\geq x]=x^{-0.5}. \end{align} Then, we produce $N$ independent samples $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_N$ from this dist …

Is it reasonable to consider the subgaussian property of the logarithm of the Gaussian pdf?

Let $Y$ denote a Gaussian random variable characterized by a mean $\mu$ and a variance $\sigma^2$. Consider $N$ independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) copies of $Y$, denoted as $Y_1, Y_2, \l …

Hoeffding's Lemma for bounded complex random variables?

If we have a real random variable $X$ such that $a\leq X\leq b$ almost surely, we can establish the following inequality: \begin{align} \mathbb{E}\left[\exp\Big(t(X-\mathbb{E}[X])\Big)\right]\leq\exp\ …

Does bounding mutual information restrict the defined meter?

Suppose $I(X;Y)$ denotes mutual information and on the other hand there is a relationship as follows. \begin{align} |p(y)-p(y|x)|<\delta p(y),\qquad\forall x,y. \end{align} Then we can say about mutua …
