Local Divergence and Association
局部散度与关联性
In applications of differential geometry to problems of parametric statistical inference, the notion of divergence is often used to measure the separation between two parametric densities. In this paper we move away from the parametric framework of much of statistical differential geometry and instead employ divergence in a covariate setting. Many data-analyses involve investigation of how the conditional distribution f(y|X = x) of a random variable Y changes with covariate…
