Geodesic distribution in graph theory: Kullback-Leibler-Symmetric

Kullback-Leibler information allow us to characterize a family of dis- tributions denominated Kullback-Leibler-Symmetric, which are distance functions and, under some restrictions, generate the Jensen’s equality shown by [1], in this paper denominated Jensen-Equal. On the other hand, [5] and [7] sho...

Descrição
Resumo:Kullback-Leibler information allow us to characterize a family of dis- tributions denominated Kullback-Leibler-Symmetric, which are distance functions and, under some restrictions, generate the Jensen’s equality shown by [1], in this paper denominated Jensen-Equal. On the other hand, [5] and [7] showed that graph theory gives conditions to define a new mea- surable space and, therefore, new distances, in particular, the distance characterized by [2], denominated Geodesic Distance. The interaction of these ideas allow us to define a new distribution, denominated Geodesic Distri- bution which, under graph theory as center and radius of a graph, we can to develop optimization methodologies based in probabilities of attendance. We obtain many applications and the proposal method is very adaptive. To illustrate, we apply this distribution in spatial statistics.
