Convergence on Compact Groups; 7. Convergence to the Poisson Distribution; 8.

It gives a basic introduction to the concepts of entropy and Fisher information, and collects together standard results concerning their behaviour. It brings together results from a number of research papers as well as unpublished material, showing how the techniques can give a unified view of limit theorems.Central limit theoremInformation theoryStatistical methodsProbabilitiesCentral limit theorem.Information theoryStatistical methods.Probabilities.519.2Johnson Oliver(Oliver Thomas)160688MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783482803321Information theory and the central limit theorem1020297UNINA02834oam 2200721 a 450 991097487550332120120425165022.0979821601053197982161412739786613861757978128354930112835493019780313386398031338639010.5040/9798216010531(CKB)2670000000234119(EBL)995942(OCoLC)811034055(SSID)ssj0000712692(PQKBManifestationID)12259292(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000712692(PQKBWorkID)10650932(PQKB)11007368(Au-PeEL)EBL995942(CaPaEBR)ebr10590511(CaONFJC)MIL386175(OCoLC)759915998(DLC)ABC0313386390(MiAaPQ)EBC995942(DLC)BP0313386382BC(DLC)BP9798216010531BC(Perlego)4165102(EXLCZ)99267000000023411920120410e20122023 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSacred terror how faith becomes lethal /Daniel E.
