Minimax Estimation of Functionals of Discrete Distributions

TL;DR: The minimax rate-optimal mutual information estimator yielded by the framework leads to significant performance boosts over the Chow-Liu algorithm in learning graphical models and the practical advantages of the schemes for the estimation of entropy and mutual information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimax Estimation of Functionals of Discrete Distributions

TL;DR: In this article, a general methodology for the construction and analysis of essentially minimax estimators for a wide class of functionals of finite dimensional parameters, and elaborate on the case of discrete distributions, where the support size $S$ is unknown and may be comparable with or even much larger than the number of observations $n$.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance Limits and Geometric Properties of Array Localization

TL;DR: This paper determines the localization accuracy of an agent, which is equipped with an antenna array and localizes itself using wireless measurements with anchor nodes, in a far-field environment with typical anchor deployments and antenna arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Functionals of Discrete Distributions

TL;DR: The worst case squared error risk incurred by the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) in estimating the Shannon entropy is described and it is established that the MLE achieves the minimax optimal rate regardless of the alphabet size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance Limits and Geometric Properties of Array Localization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the localization information for static scenarios and demonstrated that such information is a weighed sum of Fisher information matrices from each anchor-antenna measurement pair.
