Hypothesis Testing in Speckled Data With Stochastic Distances
TL;DR: This paper derives and compares eight stochastic distances and assesses the performance of hypothesis tests that employ them and maximum likelihood estimation, concluding that tests based on the triangular distance have the closest empirical size to the theoretical one, while thosebased on the arithmetic-geometric distances have the best power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytic Expressions for Stochastic Distances Between Relaxed Complex Wishart Distributions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived analytic expressions for four stochastic distances between relaxed scaled complex Wishart distributions in their most general form and in important particular cases, and inequalities were obtained that lead to new ways of deriving the Bartlett and revised Wishart distances.

Analytic Expressions for Stochastic Distances Between Relaxed Complex Wishart Distributions
TL;DR: Analytical expressions for four stochastic distances between relaxed scaled complex Wishart distributions are derived in their most general form and in important particular cases for discrimination and homogeneity identification capabilities.

Morad Alizadeh,Gauss M. Cordeiro,Abraão D. C. Nascimento,Maria do Carmo S. Lima,Edwin M. M. Ortega +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new family of continuous distributions with two extra shape parameters, called the Burr generalized family of distributions, is studied and the shapes of the density and hazard rate function are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing Edge Detection Methods Based on Stochastic Entropies and Distances for PolSAR Imagery
TL;DR: Seven methods for edge detection in multilook PolSAR images are discussed, providing evidence that the methods based on the Bhattacharyya distance and the difference of Shannon entropies outperform the other techniques.
